BETHLEHEM, Pa. – Lehigh placed two players on the All-Patriot League teams on Tuesday, with Erica Prosser and Alex Ross receiving the honor. Alexa Williams also earned a spot on the All-Rookie team, giving the first-place Mountain Hawks a trio of players on All-League teams.
Prosser earned the only First Team All-Patriot League selection for the Brown and White. The sophomore guard finished the season ranked third in the league in scoring (14.4 points per game) second in assists per game (4.4) and third in steals per game (2.1). Prosser led all scorers in league play, averaging 15.9 points per game in 14 league games.
Ross took home Second Team All-Patriot League honors for the second consecutive season. The junior guard ranked fifth in the league in scoring at 13.4 points per game, and connected on a league best 43.7 percent of her 3-pointers on the season. Ross’ 3.1 made 3-pointers per game ranked her atop in the Patriot League and fourth in the nation. Ross buried 80 3-point field goals on the season, breaking her own school record set in the previous season (78).
Williams excelled in her first season with the Mountain Hawks, en route to her selection to the All-Rookie team. Williams averaged 5.2 points per game and 4.4 rebounds per game in her freshman campaign. After coming off the bench for the first 24 games of the season, Williams settled into a starting role in the final five contests. The freshman from Warren, Ohio scored a career-high 17 points, including a school-record-tying 13 free throws in a win against Army on Feb. 14 in Stabler Arena.
The Mountain Hawks finished the season atop the Patriot League for the first time in school history with a 12-2 record. They will host the first two rounds of the tournament on March 7-8, and the championship game will take place at the site of the highest seed remaining. Lehigh takes on eighth-seeded Colgate in the first round on Saturday at noon.
