The Dallas, Texas native averaged 16 points and over 7 rebounds a game in her first season in a Warriors uniform. She scored double digits in every game played but two in 2023-24. She scored a season-high 25 points on three separate occasions (vs. William Penn, at Viterbo, and vs. Dickinson State). She scored at least 20 points in three other games.

"This is a very deserving honor for Brooke, said Waldorf women's basketball head coach Shawn Chaffin. From the first day of workouts through the conference season, Brooke improved every single day and put up unprecedented numbers that only got better as the season went along. As a freshman, Brooke's impact on our team and conference was undeniable, and I am pleased that our peers in the WBCA felt the same way. Brooke also excels in the classroom, and she is a very humble person as well. We are excited to see her continued growth."

Dial posted double-double efforts in seven games this past season. She tallied a season-high 12 rebounds in a game at Hope International in December.
