LANDMARK SELECTS WOMEN'S BASKETBALL ALL-CONFERENCE TEAM

MADISON, N.J. – Following a strong season of competition that sees four Landmark teams earn berths in the NCAA or ECAC postseason 12 student-athletes have been selected to the 2009-10 All-Landmark Conference Women's Basketball Team as voted by the conference's eight head coaches. The team consists of a first and second team, with six players on each team, and the selections made by position.  The voting for the All-Conference Team took place after the conclusion of the regular season and prior to the start of the Landmark postseason.

Moravian College, which posted the first unbeaten Landmark season in conference basketball history led the way with three All-Conference choices, each of them on the first team. The Greyhounds coaching staff, led by Head Coach Mary Beth Spirk were also recognized as the Coaching Staff of the Year. The University of Scranton also had two honorees, and all eight Landmark programs had at least one player chosen for the team. Scranton's Megan Kopecki earned Player of the Year honors for the second time in as many seasons. Brooke Picillo of the United States Merchant Marine Academy also received an honor for the second time as she was named the Defensive Player of the Year after earning that honor in the 2007-08 season. Catholic's Jill Woerner was selected as the Landmark Rookie of the Year.

The All-Conference choices were separated among the classes, with five seniors being honored in their final season, along with four juniors and three sophomores. There were several repeat honorees including four players who have earned spots on all three Landmark All-Conference Teams. Kopecki, Catholic's Brianna Peterson, Moravian's Kate Harrison and Susquehanna's Rachael Hughes are all three-time All-Landmark choices. Juniata's Jen Hnatuck, Goucher's Amber Smith and Scranton's Ryan Mooney are both two-time All-Landmark honorees.
