The Colorado women’s basketball team announced its annual team awards at a banquet held ahead of senior day, as the Buffs prepare for postseason play in the 2025-26 season. The event recognized individual achievements voted on by players and coaches.

The awards highlight the standout performances and contributions of several athletes throughout the season. Senior forward Jade Masogayo received both the Most Valuable Player and Offensive Player of the Year honors for the second consecutive year. Masogayo was also named to the All-Big 12 Second Team, marking her second All-Conference award in the Big 12 after an honorable mention last season. She averaged 11.2 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.0 assists, and 1.0 steals per game this season, with notable performances including a career-high 23 points against TCU.

Defensive Player of the Year was shared by junior guard Zyanna Walker and senior forward Anaëlle Dutat. Walker earned her second All-Defensive Team selection in the Big 12 and posted significant stats such as five or more steals in three games this season. Dutat set a program record for offensive rebounds in a single season with over 117 and led or tied for leading rebounds in 19 games.

Other honorees included junior guard Desiree Wooten as Sixth Man Award recipient, freshman forward Logyn Greer as Newcomer of the Year, and junior guard Maeve McErlane who received both the Ceal Barry Pride Award and Iron Buff award for leadership and work ethic. Sophomore guard Kennedy Sanders was recognized with both the Crystal Ford Adams Scholar-Athlete Award and Buff Service Award for her academic efforts and community service.
