DUBOIS -The Penn State DuBois women’s basketball team held its post-season recognition banquet on April 20, at Luigi’s Ristarante in DuBois. Coach Pat Lewis and players were joined by parents and family members to celebrate the 2012-13 season, honor players with team awards, and recognize academic excellence.
Lewis gave a re-cap of the season and spoke briefly about his players. Two team members who played their final season at DuBois, Karly Carnovale and Karlee Cyphert, will be missed for their play on the court and their leadership off the court. Three team awards were presented by Lewis; Team MVP was awarded to Karly Carnovale for her outstanding play and for leading the team in scoring. The Coaches Award was presented to Freshman Jordan Fairman for her work ethic, positive attitude, and commitment to the team. The final team award was that of Rookie of the Year which went to Freshman Kiley Lewis who led the team in rebounds.
Highlighting the dinner was the presentation of the PSUAC Academic All-Conference awards. Six eligible players received academic all-conference certificates for earning a GPA of 3.0 or higher. They are: Carnovale, Cyphert, Kiley Lewis, Fairman, Patience McCullough, and Linsey Mizic. The seventh player on the team, Nicki Hurler was not eligible for the award because she joined the team in January.
