Bethlehem, PA – Lehigh junior Anne Tierney has been selected to the Verizon Academic All-America Women’s Basketball District 2 team for the second year in a row. The team is selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA). Tierney has excelled both in the classroom and on the basketball court in her nearly three years at Lehigh. The double major in Economics and Finance currently boasts a 3.87 GPA, and has been a Dean’s List student every semester at Lehigh. Tierney earned a perfect 4.0 GPA in the Fall 2001 semester. Last season, Tierney was named the Patriot League’s Women’s Basketball Scholar Athlete of the Year. On the court, Tierney has already shattered several school records, with one full season still left in her career. The co-captain is Lehigh’s all-time leader in rebounds, and is rapidly climbing the Mountain Hawks’ all-time scoring list; she is currently third. Tierney has been a Patriot League All-First Team selection in each of her first two seasons, and was the league’s Rookie of the Year as a freshman. "Being selected to this prestigious group is a tribute to Anne's dedication, discipline and hard work both in the classroom and on the basketball court," said Lehigh head coach Sue Troyan. "She is an outstanding representative of all student-athletes in our league, excelling at the highest level in everything she does." Other District 2 team members are Penn State sophomore Kelly Mazzante, American junior Katryn Costenbader, Drexel senior Michelle Maslowski, and senior Susan Moran of St. Joseph’s. Tierney and the other District 2 team members are now candidates for the national team, which will be selected by CoSIDA members and announced on March 8, 2002. 2002 Verizon Academic All-American Women’s Basketball District 2 Team
