Kyanna Giles will wrap up her U Sports career as an all-star once again.
Â
Giles, the fifth-year guard with the UWinnipeg Wesmen women's basketball team, was named a first-team all-Canada West for the third time in her career Friday, marking the fifth time in her five seasons of play she earned a conference all-star award.
Â
Giles was a second-team all-conference last season with the Wesmen, and had three all-star seasons with the Regina Cougars prior to her transferring home in 2020.Â
Â
In 2022-23, Giles was statistically spectacular before an injury ended her season in a win at Manitoba on Feb. 2.Â
Â
She averaged a career high 21.9 points per game, which led the nation prior to her injury, and posted the second-best rebounds-per-game mark of her career at 8.6 per contest. She also averaged 5.5 assists and 2.7 steals per game.Â
Â
Giles reconfigured the Wesmen record books, as well. She scored more than 40 points in two conference games — and three overall — and scored at least 30 in four conference games.Â
Â
In a win over Fraser Valley in February, Giles set a Wesmen Canada West-era record with 46 points, a total that ranks third in Wesmen program history. She also scored 43 in a win at Brandon in December, giving her two of the top five highest scoring games in the program's history.Â
