Firebaugh makes MAAC All-Tournament team

James Wood graduate and Rider University freshman guard Makayla Firebaugh was one of seven players selected to the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference All-Championship team on Saturday night.

Firebaugh was held without a point in seventh-seeded Riders's 44-41 win in the first round over No. 10 Monmouth (she went 0 for 8 from the floor, including 0 for 5 on 3-pointers). But in the quarterfinals, Firebaugh had 12 points and six rebounds as the Broncs upset No. 2 Quinnipiac 62-50. Rider (8-18) was eliminated in the semifinals by No. 3 Saint Peter's 72-67 on Friday, but Firebaugh had 16 points and four rebounds.

Firebaugh was the MAAC Co-Rookie of the Year this season. She ended the year averaging a team-high 11.0 points per game. She also averaged 4.4 rebounds per game, hit 31.3 percent of her 3-pointers (40 of 128) and made a team-high 89.4 percent of her free throws (42 of 47).
