NORFOLK, Va. – Take a bow,
Riley Casey.
The graduate guard picked up another accolade earlier this week as she was named First Team All-State by the Virginia Sports Information Directors (VaSID). It's the first honor for Casey from the organization. Last year,
Dani McTeer was named VaSID Freshman of the Year.
Casey was the only W&M player to start every game for the Green and Gold this season, recording one of most prolific offensive years in program history. Her 559 total points this winter rank second among all Tribe players in a season, while her 18 points per game are the 5
th-best single-season scoring average on record. The Tennessee native also posted the most 30-point games in a single season (6), twice tied the record for most 3-pointers in a game at Kaplan (7), and drained the second most 3-pointers in a single season (85).
And against the rest of the CAA? Casey was just as dominant. She wrapped up the season tied for second in scoring, third in 3-point percentage (.376
), and second in free throw percentage (.872). Nationally, she was 25th in 3-pointers per game (2.74) and 40
th in points per game.
Casey was also named All-CAA First Team this winter after helping the Tribe capture 12 conference wins, tying the program record.
