The Morning Call (Sunday)

First Team

-

The versatile 6-foot sophomore did a little of everything for a Crusader (24-3) team that won the Colonial League title without losing a league regular-season game for the second straight season. Scored a career-high 23 points, 19 in the fourth quarter, in a 57-53 loss to Loyalsock in a PIAA first-round defeat. Scored 21 points against Moravian Academy in two separate games including in the Colonial League title game. Committed to Rutgers. Averaged 10.8 ppg, had 38 3-pointers.

The 5-foot-10 senior forward scored 24 points with 10 rebounds in the Patriots’ 60-49 first-round PIAA win over North Penn. Never missed a game in her fouryear career that would turn out be the school’s winningest ever. An undersized rock underneath for a guard-oriented program, she scored 1,299 career points and was a two-time first team All-EPC choice. 17.5 ppg, 7 rpg. Will play at Holy Family.

The 5-foot-7 senior guard became the Lady Raiders’ third 2,000-point career scorer and finishing with 2,010 after scoring 24 in a season-ending 49-41 loss to Central Catholic in district consolatio­n game. The three-time all-area first-team selection was second-team all-state pick last season. Helped bring Lady Raiders back to respectabi­lity the last four seasons after rare down time by becoming an outstandin­g all-around player. 23.4 ppg, 585 points, 33 3s, 4 apg, 5 spg, 10.9 rpg. Will play at Thomas Jefferson University.

Hands down the most improved player in the area, the 5-foot-7 point-guard and first-year starter scored 384 points this season, which is the second-most points ever scored at Nazareth for a sophomore. Besides being the team’s main ballhandle­r she also knocked down a school-record 74 3-point field goals that ranks fourth all-time among Northampto­n and Lehigh County girls in a single season.

The 6-foot guard and Villanova recruit led team to fourth straight EPC and District 11 titles while scoring 1,168 career points despite missing almost entire junior season due to an injury. Was a third-team all-state pick as a freshman and first-team as a sophomore. Plays on a very balanced and deep team so her stats are not gaudy. Scored 26 points with 16 rebounds in 69-49 second-round PIAA win over Gwynedd-Mercy before the season was halted. Averaged 14.6 ppg and also led team in assists and rebounds.

A 6-foot senior forward and the program’s first 1,000-point scorer in 13 years, was voted MVP of the Colonial League after leading it in scoring and the Crusaders to their seventh overall league title and first in five years.

The 5-foot-10 sophomore swing player can take over a game at any time. Like Medina, gets lost in the shuffle of a deep team at times. Scored 18 points in 59-38 Eastern Pennsylvan­ia Conference semifinal win over Freedom and a career-high 19 against the Patriots in a 61-48 regular-season victory. Led team with 31 3-pointers and free-throw shooting (.720). Averaged 10.3 ppg.
