If you took her out of the UST equation, where would the women's UST b-ball team be?
They'd be at about the same place without Katch... between 3rd and 5th in the Miac having an underachieving season after they were picked to win the conference during the preseason. Now take Fruedenberg from Concordia... and they might not make the playoffs.
Both are deserving players, but as far as the arguement of who is more valuable to their team i think it is Fruedenberg. I still believe that St. Thomas has the deepest team in the conference which works against Katch's value. They have 3 or 4 players that had significant playing time last year are now role players coming off the bench.
I was on the NCAA website http://ncaa.org/stats/StatsSrv/ranksummary where you can find the top 500, nationally ranked players in each conference. They have Katch ranked in the top 500 nationally in 7 out of 10 categories. With Dee Prioleau (408th place) sharing in only one of the categories, blocked shots, (Katch being ranked 114th in blocked shots).
Now, Look up Concordia, specifically Freudenberg, she is listed in 6 of the 10 categories, along with 3 OTHER TEAMATES being listed in the top 500 nationally. Concordia is much deeper than you might like to believe. Your reasoning for Freudenberg being MVP doesn't add up.
