Maddy Mandyck has been named to the All-NESCAC First Team and the NESCAC Defensive Player of the Year in a vote by the conference coaches.

"I am thrilled that Maddy has been selected First Team All-NESCAC and Defensive Player of the Year," said Eph head coach
Pat Manning. "Maddy had a tremendous season and finished the year ranked in 8 NESCAC statistical categories, including being 1st in blocks. Maddy had 13 double/doubles this season and was the
first player in our history to record a rare triple double with blocks (13pts, 16reb, 12 blocks) vs Stevenson. She moved into 2nd place all-time for rebounds with 804.
"Maddy expanded her game continuously over her four years, always striving to improve her skill set. A two-year co-captain, Maddy was a tireless worker, the epitome of a great teammate, a joy to coach and a true student of the game. Maddy sets the standard for all future Ephs and will leave a legacy of hard work, dedication, a team first attitude and a love of competition. Maddy is so deserving of this recognition and I am proud and grateful to have coached her."
