Triton College is proud to have women’s basketball player Bethany Baldwin voted as the 2019-2020 North Central Community College (N4C) conference Player of the Year. It has been 27 years since a Triton women’s basketball player was selected as the top conference contributor. Baldwin is from Watersmeet, Mich. and transferred to Triton College in 2019. The sophomore guard is a leader in both the Region IV and the nation in rebounds, assists, steals, field goal percentage and three-point field goal percentage. In scoring, she is among the top 10 players in Region IV and among the top 30 players in the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) Division II programs. Baldwin is proud to be Native American, a member of the Forest County Potawatomi tribe. Making the transition to the Chicagoland area was a big change for Baldwin, but the support she has received, especially from family has been key to her success on and off the court. As a student-athlete, excelling in her sport and completing her course work has been a delicate balancing act. Baldwin said student athletes have to persevere to succeed.
