Lehigh held its annual women’s basketball banquet on Saturday, April 13 inside Iacocca Hall on the Mountaintop Campus. Two Lehigh players captured awards on the afternoon, in a program that included lunch, presentation of three awards, and the viewing of a highlight film that looked back at the Mountain Hawks’ 2001-2002 season. Junior co-captain Anne Tierney captured both the Athlete of the Year and the Scholar-Athlete of the Year Awards. The Athlete of the Year Award is presented to the team member who makes the most outstanding athletic contribution to the accomplishments of the team. The Scholar-Athlete Award goes to the student-athlete who in the eyes of his/her teammates exemplifies the ideal of the scholar-athlete. Tierney captured both honors after leading the team in scoring and rebounding on the court, and posting a 3.87 GPA as a double-major in the classroom. Sophomore Erin Gilliland won the Coaches Award at the banquet. The Coaches Award is presented to the individual who made significant contributions to the well being of the team in terms of attitude, improvement, or special leadership. Gilliland is known by her teammates for her vocal leadership and her strong work ethic.
