NEW YORK (AP) — Columbia’s Abbey Hsu was chosen as the top Division I women’s basketball player in the tri-state area by the Met Writers Association.
Carly Thibault-DuDonis of Fairfield University was selected the Maggie Dixon Met Coach of the Year and Meghan Andersen of Fairfield was named the Rookie of the Year by the organization.
Hsu helped the Lions win a share of the Ivy League regular season title for the second straight year and earn the school’s first-ever NCAA Tournament berth with an at-large bid. She also became the first Columbia player ever to be drafted to the WNBA when she was selected in the third round by the Connecticut Sun on Monday night.
Hsu, who was the Ivy League player of the year and honorable mention AP All-America, averaged 20.4 points and 7.3 rebounds this season.
She finished her career as the No. 3 all-time scorer in Ivy League history with 2,126 points and No. 1 in career 3-pointers made (375).
