NCAA Division II Men's and Women's Basketball Release (PDF) | Academic Awards History

EAST STROUDSBURG – The College Sports Information Directors of America released its 2018-19 Academic All-America teams for women's basketball on Tuesday, with East Stroudsburg University junior guard Tiffany Lapotsky being named to the Second Team.
 
Fourteen of the 15 members of the Google Cloud Academic All-America Division II Women's Basketball teams have at least a 3.90 G.P.A., with Lapotsky being one of five student-athletes maintaining a perfect 4.00 GPA. The Academic All-District and Academic All-America teams recognize student-athletes for athletic and academic achievements and are nominated and voted on by members of CoSIDA.
 
Lapotsky (Ashland, Pa./North Schuylkill) is the first member of the women's basketball program to receive the award since the inception of the Academic All-American program in 1979. Since then, there have been 49 student-athletes that have earned a total of 69 awards for the Warriors.
 
In February, she became the fourth Academic All-District selection for the women's basketball program since the 2005-06 season. Jackie Yandrisevits received the award twice (2008-09, 2007-08) during her career with the Warriors
 
Lapotsky currently holds a 4.0 grade-point average at ESU, while majoring in Exercise Science. She is also a member of the honors program and exercise science club at ESU. Last week, Lapotsky was named to the All-PSAC East first team, marking the second time that she's earned all-conference accolades. She has been named to the Lehigh Valley Small College Basketball Scholar-Athlete team in each of her first three seasons.
 
She improved on her second-team selection from a season ago as she paced the Warriors offensively in field goals (172), 3-point field goals (46), free throws (88), and points per game (17.1). She tallied 478 points and shot 42.9 percent from the field after starting 26 of the Warriors' 27 regular season games.
 
Her 478 points rank eighth all-time for a single-season in program history, while her field goals and 3-point field goals also rank in the top-11 all-time. She scored 10 or more points in 18 consecutive games for ESU during the regular season, finishing a game shy of DeAnna Rayam's 19-game streak during the 2009-10 season.
 
Lapotsky will look to join ESU's 1000-point club next season as she currently sits with 920 points through her first three seasons with the Warriors. ESU currently has 16 members in the 1000-point club, with Imani Brown (1224) joining the all-time list most recently during the 2017-18 season.
