The event will precede the Division III National Championship game. The student-athletes were chosen by a committee composed of head women's basketball coaches of NCAA Division III programs, all of whom are members of the WBCA. All student-athletes were nominated by WBCA member coaches. The 20 All-Stars are divided into two 10-member teams for the game. Dixie Jeffers, retired head coach of Capital University in Columbus, Ohio, and Carroll LaHaye, retired head coach of Randolph-Macon College in Ashland, Virginia, will coach the teams. Gerig will suit up for Team LaHaye.

"I am excited to play in the Division III Senior All-Star game this week," said Gerig. "It is such an honor to be chosen and I am grateful for the opportunity to play in a Williams' jersey one more time. I have gained so much from being a part of this program. I have grown as a person, friend and student-athlete. I will always cherish the memories I have made in Chandler Gymnasium."

Additionally, Gerig was recently named to the New England Women's Basketball Association (NEWBA) All-Region Third Team, as she ended her collegiate career with the second-most points (1,568) in program history. The Westport, Connecticut, native was a two-time NESCAC All-Conference First Team honoree. She was named three times to the NESCAC Winter All-Academic Team (2023-25), while being named the conference's Player of the Week on three occasions.

"It is such a tremendous honor for Arianna to be selected to participate in the prestigious WBCA Senior All-Star game," said head coach Pat Manning. "It is an awesome way to cap off her great career. I am excited to see her play with some of the best players in the country, along with participating in other exciting events in store for the All-Stars. Arianna has worked diligently over her four years to earn this opportunity and has left a lasting impact on our program."

Gerig scored 43 points at Smith on Dec. 6, 2023, which stands as the most points in a single game in program history. During the 2023-24 season, she finished with 509 points, the most in a single season in the team's record book. Gerig tallied nine steals, tied for the most in one game in team history, during a 60-52 victory over Amherst on Jan. 17, 2024.

During her outstanding career, Gerig was named NEWBA Player of the Week once, while earning a spot on the First Team of the Week three times and Second Team of the Week on seven occasions. She compiled career averages of 15.8 points and 7.4 rebounds per game, scoring 20 or more points 29 times and corralling 10 or more boards on 25 occasions.
