SAN FRANCISCO – Shouldering the load for the Cougars all season long, the duo of redshirt-junior Borislava Hristova and junior Chanelle Molina earned All-Pac-12 postseason honors as announced by conference commissioner Larry Scott Tuesday afternoon. Hristova was named to the full all-conference team while Molina took home a honorable mention nod as well as earning honorable mention distinction on the all-defensive team. 

For Hristova, the All-Pac-12 award was her second-consecutive full team honor while also marking the third time the star forward was named to the postseason award list after earning honorable mention status as a freshman. One of the elite scorers in the country, Hristova ended the regular season third in the Pac-12 in scoring at 20.2 points per game, a mark which ranked 22nd in the nation in Division I basketball. Not only did she score at an impressive clip, she did so efficiently as well as she hit 48.1% of her shots (227-of-472). In 29 games, Hristova hit double-figures in 27 contests including putting together a 19-game streak to begin the year which ranked as the sixth-longest run in WSU history. She posted 14 20+ point games throughout the season while eclipsing the 30-point mark four times including scoring a career-best 38 points at Washington to earn player of the week honors at the start of Pac-12 play. Hristova needs just 13 points in the Pac-12 tournament to become the sixth Cougar in program history to record 600 points in a season. On top of her scoring, Hristova upped her game on the glass as she grabbed a career best 5.6 rebounds per game while tallying five double-doubles throughout the season while asked to play myriad of positions on the floor for WSU.

The catalyst of the Cougars' offense, Molina earned her second-career postseason award after picking up a place on the all-freshman team in her inaugural campaign. Having refound the magic she showed as a freshman pre-knee injury, Molina finished the season scoring 15.6 points per game, ranking 12th in the Pac-12. While setting up her teammates, the Hawaiian born point-guard ranked fifth in the conference with 5.2 assists per game. She etched her name in the program's top-10 for assists in a season after posting 150 in 29 games, fourth most in a single year at WSU. Twice the junior came up with double-digit helpers including an 11 assist day against Boise State, the first double-digit assist game for a Cougar in 18 seasons. In addition to the offense, Molina ended the regular season with a career best 5.6 rebounds per game. She recorded her first-career double-double at then No. 11 Oregon State with 16 points and 10 rebounds. She followed with a second double-double against Washington with 18 points and 10 assists.

In addition to the all-conference team, Molina earned recognition as one of the Pac-12's top defenders. While routinely tasked with defending some of the best guards in the nation, Molina finished the year averaging 1.8 steals per game, the sixth-best mark in the conference. 

Playing with a short bench all season long, the two stars were asked to play a record number of minutes throughout the 2018-19 campaign, showing off a durability not seen before at WSU. In 29 games, Molina played 1,095 minutes, shattering the previous mark of 1,029 set in 2013-14 by Tia Presley in 34 games. While Molina continues to rewrite the record every minute on the floor, Hristova sits right behind her teammate in WSU's annals having finished the regular season with 1,029 minutes played.

The duo leads the Cougars into the Pac-12 Championships Thursday, March 7, against the No. 7 seed Cal. The game is scheduled for 6 p.m. at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas and can be seen on the Pac-12 Network.
