Eastern Division Player
Dana Weems - West Chester (Jr, G, 5-8, Pottstown/Pottsgrove)
  Weems, a junior from Pottstown, has made an immediate impact in her first year with the Golden Rams.  A transfer from Harcum Junior College, the versatile guard helped guide the West Chester squad to a 9-3 Eastern Division record, 10-19 overall.   Weems' play was a big reason the Golden Rams qualified for the PSAC playoffs for 12th time in the last 13 years, earning the division's No. 2 seed.  She led the team in scoring at 12.0 points per game (17th - PSAC) and finished second in rebounding at 7.3 per game (11th - PSAC).  Weems also ranked in the league's top 10 in field goal percentage (10th - 50.8 percent) and steals (5th - 2.79 per game).   In addition to this accolade, Weems was an All-PSAC East First Team selection.

Western Division Player
Lauren Beckley - Shippensburg (So, F, 5-11, Fairfield/Fairfield)  A sophomore guard from Fairfield (Fairfield HS), Beckley earns her second consecutive league honor after being recognized as the Western Division's Rookie of the Year a season ago.  She leads the conference in both scoring and rebounding as she averages a double-double with 22.3 points and 11.1 rebounds per contest.  In just her second season, Beckley has put together 28 double-double efforts, including 21 this season.  She currently ranks first in the league in three-point field goal percentage, hitting 43.3 percent of her shots from behind the arc (55-of-127).  She also ranks among the league's leaders in free-throw percentage (7th - 82.8; 135-of-163) and field goal percentage (11th - 50.5; 217-of-430).

Megan Stewart - West Chester (Fr, G, 5-4, York, Pa./York Catholic)
