BLOOMINGTON, Minn. – Although her playing career has ended, the accolades continue to roll in for Case Western Reserve University senior guard Evy Iacono (Cincinnati, Ohio/Mount Notre Dame). On Wednesday, the two-year captain was named to the D3Hoops.com All-Great Lakes Region Second Team for the first time in her career.
This marks the third-straight season in which a Spartan female has been named to the D3Hoops.com All-Great Lakes Region Team. Erin Hollinger earned the honor in 2010-11 as well as 2011-12.
Iacono recently became just the second CWRU women's basketball student-athlete to be named University Athletic Association Player of the Year.
In 2012-13, Iacono led the UAA in scoring at 17.9 points per game, and she posted the second-highest single-season scoring total (447 points) in school history. A four-time UAA Player of the Week this winter, Iacono joined the program's 1,000-point club in late November and twice set the school single-game scoring record with respective totals of 37 and 38 points. Overall, she scored in double figures in 21-of-25 games and averaged 4.7 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 2.4 steals.
In 99 games, Iacono finished her decorated career third in school history in points (1,352) as well as tied for first in three-pointers (179), fifth in field goals made (463) and sixth in steals (200), free throws made (247) and assists (334).
Earlier this season, Iacono was lauded for her efforts both on the floor and in the classroom with Capital One Academic First Team All-District VII honors.
Iacono and the Spartans ended the season at 16-9 overall and in fourth place in the ultra-competitive UAA (8-6). The 16 victories are the most for the program since the 2001-02 season when the team was 20-9 overall and advanced to the NCAA Tournament. In six years under Head Coach Jennifer Reimer, the Spartans now have produced five winning campaigns.
