    USC sophomore Briana Gilbreath has added to her list of accolades for the season with another high honor coming from the Pac-10 Conference. Gilbreath has been selected the Pac-10 Co-Defensive Player of the Year, sharing the award with Stanford senior Rosalyn Gold-Onwude.

    A guard, Gilbreath made a quick impact on the Pac-10 with last year's selection as the Pac-10 Freshman of the Year. This season, Gilbreath remains a defensive force for the Women of Troy. She's earned a spot on the All-Pac-10 Team as well en route to her pick as the 2010 Pac-10 Co-Defensive Player of the Year. (USC's All-Pac-10 Honorees)
