2023 AE Awards - Basketball

[godanesgo99]

Looks like Beagle has the ROY locked up. What other players have a chance at awards for the season?

Men:

ROY: Beagle

All-Rookie Team: Beagle obviously. I think Jackson has a shot after starting all conference season (minus Senior night)

1-3rd teams: Beagle and Drumgoole probably have a shot at third team. Not sure anyone else has a shot.

POY/DPOY/COY no one on UA

Woman:

I haven't watched enough. Anyone have predictions?

Haegerstrand and Cooper for first team. Adrianna Smith of Maine looks to have POY locked up. I hope they look at conference stats, because Cooper isn't anywhere on the "overall" leaders - she only played 19 games, and they list them by total points and rebounds.

Not sure anyone else has the stats to make other teams. Team doesn't have any assist leaders, because we've got five players between 11th-21st  for assists (league only.)

Maybe Fatima Lee for sixth player?

Freshmen don't have enough playing time.

For our women’s team:

Kayla Cooper, Helene Haegerstrand SHOULD be 1st team AC. If they’re not something is very wrong. In January I would have said the same for Ellen Hahne. She does a lot of things well and certainly contributes to the team success. But she’s been inconsistent, scoring wise, for a while now which might hurt her. Had 12 last game which was good to see. She will make an AC team. Not sure which one. POY, I’m guessing, will be Adrianna Smith of Maine, Haegerstrand, or Emma Utterback of Vermont. 

Our 3 1st year players didn’t get enough PT to make the rookie teams. I think #3 from Binghamton might get ROY. Need to go look her name up!

Bing’s #3 is Ella Wanzer. Hurt us in the game over there, but not the home game. Coach of the year probably goes to Vermont.

Here are the actual Womens Awards: 

https://s3.amazonaws.com/sidearm.sites/americaeast.sidearmsports.com/documents/2023/2/28/2023_WBB_all_conference.pdf

• 1st Team: Cooper and Haegerstrand
• 3rd Team: Hahne
• All Defensive Team: Hahne
• All Academic: Cooper and Haegerstrand

None of the individual major awards like POY, DPOY, ROY, 6thPOY, NOY, COY

Definitely shows a great team effort and no reliance on a single player to win. Love that the UA All-Academic winners were also 1st teamers.
