Colorado College women's basketball senior Zoë Tomlinson was named a finalist for the Jostens Trophy, given to the best basketball player in NCAA DIII. 
 
The Jostens Trophy honors - one for men's basketball and one for women's basketball - are national awards created by the Rotary Club of Salem and sponsored by Jostens, Inc., to recognize the most outstanding men's and women's Division III basketball players of the year. The awards focus on three major criteria: basketball ability, academic prowess, and service to one's surrounding communities. 
 
The 2025 season marks the 27th time the Jostens Trophy honors will be awarded.
 
Tomlinson was named the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference Player and Defensive Player of the Year, only the second time a player has won both awards in the same season. 
 
The New York native posted 23 double-doubles this season, which not only leads the SCAC but is suitable for third-best in the nation. The reigning all-American is shooting a league-best 55.5 percent from the field, and her 60 blocks also lead the conference. She also averaged 1.4 steals per game in league play (tied for 25th in the conference). 
 
Tomlinson also received the SCAC Elite 19 Award, which is given to one student-athlete at every conference championship.
