Michele Albanese Named to PSAC Top 10 Team

BLOOMSBURG—Bloomsburg University's Michelle Albanese (Wilmington, DE/St. Mark's) has been named to the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Winter Top 10 team.

The Top Ten Awards, selected by the PSAC's sports information directors, recognize student-athletes who distinguish themselves in the classroom, as well as in the arena of competition. The conference designates Top Ten Award winners after each of the sports seasons: fall, winter and spring.

Albanese, recently named MVP for the Huskies' women's basketball team, carries a 3.69 GPA while studying secondary education. She finished the season averaging 10.3 points, 3.7 rebounds, 4.2 assists, and 1.9 steals per game. She was second on her team in three-point field goals made with 45 and led the Huskies in three-point field goal percentage (11th in the PSAC - 34.6%). Albanese was chosen for first-team All-PSAC East honors for the second year in a row. She ends her career first in school history in three-pointers made with 207, fifth in assists with 369, and eighth in all-time scoring with 1,208 points. She also holds school records for most three-pointers made in a game with eight and in a season with 67.

To be a candidate for the Top Ten Awards, a student-athlete must have achieved a minimum of a 3.25 cumulative grade point average and must be a starter or key reserve with legitimate athletic credentials. Only student-athletes from the winter sports season are eligible for the Winter Top Ten Awards. Those sports are: wrestling, men's and women's basketball, men's and women's swimming, and men's and women's indoor track & field.
