EAST STROUDSBURG – On Thursday, East Stroudsburg University women's basketball guard Ryan Weise was named to the All-PSAC East First Team, as the league announced its All-Conference Awards.
The graduate student becomes the first All-PSAC East First Team selection since Tiffany Lapotsky back in the 2019-20 season.
Weise wrapped up arguably the best season of her career as she averaged 15.8 points, 5.7 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 2.0 steals and 0.5 blocks across 32.9 minutes per game. The Allentown, N.J. shot an efficient 41.7% overall, 42.7% from three-point range and 79.5% at the free throw line while pacing the Warriors in total points (459), rebounds (165), assists (138) and steals (58).
The honor is one of many for Weise this season as she was named the PSAC East Athlete of the Week (11/14), the D2CIDA National Player of the Week (11/15), to the November DII Women's Basketball All-Stats Starting Five as well as the Lehigh Valley Small College Basketball Organization's Pete Nevins Player of the Year, Team of the Year and Scholar Athlete Team.
As of March 1, Weise leads the PSAC and all of NCAA Division II in three pointers made with 97. Among other conference rankings, she is tops in three point percentage, fourth in assists, ninth in points and steals per game.
Weise left her mark in the record book with a three-pointer in the first quarter at Kutztown (1/23) as she set the program's single season record with her 64th make. She also matched the single-game record for three pointers made with eight in three consecutive contests against Shaw (11/13), Staten Island (11/19) and Jefferson (11/19). Dating back to 1985-86, Weise matched ESU hall of famer Stacy Perryman's record for 30-point games in a career with six.
Back on November 19, 2022, Weise eclipsed the 1,000 point mark in her collegiate career and finished with 1,371 after totaling 777 in two years at ESU and 594 in three seasons at LIU Brooklyn.
Weise not only excelled on the court but in the classroom as she was selected to the College Sports Communicators Academic All-District Team after recording a 4.0 GPA while pursuing her master's in Management & Leadership in Sport Management.
