INDIANAPOLIS -- Aliyah Boston's defense shined this year, and that showed in the first all-defensive team nod of her WNBA career.
The Indiana Fever center was named to the All-Defensive Second Team on Sunday after finishing fourth in the league with 361 rebounds and third with 17 double-doubles. She joins Golden State's Veronica Burton, Atlanta's Rhyne Howard, Seattle's Ezi Magbegor, and New York's Breanna Stewart on the second team. Co-Defensive Players of the Year A'ja Wilson and Alanna Smith headline the first team, along with Napheesa Collier, Alyssa Thomas, and Gabby Williams.
Boston was the focal point of Indiana's defense this season, breaking her own single-season rebounding record for the third year in a row. She became the fastest in Fever franchise history to hit 1,000 rebound
