Iavarone Lands on All-Met Second-Team

Metropolitan Basketball Writers Association (MBWA) Release

New York, NY| Senior forward Andrea Iavarone of the St. Joseph's College (L.I.) women's basketball team picked up her fourth end-of-the-season award on Tuesday morning when she was selected to the Metropolitan Basketball Writers Association (MBWA) All-Met Second-Team.

In March, Iavarone appeared on the D3hoops All-Atlantic Region First-Team and was named Eastern Collegiate Athletic Association (ECAC) Player of the Year. The accolades came in the wake of her being named Skyline Conference Player of the Year in late February.

The three-time Skyline All-Conference First-Team member topped the conference and ranked third in NCAA Division III with 420 rebounds, and her 19 double-doubles--good for eighth in the nation--came on the heels of posting conference-leading averages in points (20.8) rebounds (16.8).

In 2017-18, her 521 points made her SJC's all-time leading scorer (1,510), and her 1,112 career rebounds saw her finish second all-time. The 2016-17 All-Met Third-Team selection and MBWA Player of the Week on January 30 also owns single-season records for rebounds, rebounds-per-game, field-goal percentage, free throw percentage and blocks.

Additional weekly honors the forward received in 2017-18 include USBWA Division III National Player of the Week, D3hoops.com Team of the Week (3x), Skyline Conference Player of the Week (4x), MBWA Divisions II-III Weekly Honorable Mention (4x) and Skyline Conference Weekly Honor Roll (3x).
