Jevy Rayner Earns CoSIDA Academic All-District Honors
COLCHESTER, Vt. - Saint Michael's College women's basketball senior Jevy Rayner (Westminster, Vt./Bellows Falls Union) was named to the 2007 College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District women's basketball team, it was announced on Thursday. Rayner earned District 1 College Division Second Team honors, an award that twin sister Dani Rayner received last year.
Rayner, who enters her final semester at Saint Michael's with a 3.90 cumulative grade point average, is on pace to graduate magna cum laude in May with a degree in business administration. She has made the Dean's List all seven semesters at Saint Michael's, including a perfect 4.0 GPA twice, and is a three-time Northeast-10 Conference Commissioner's Honor Roll Gold Scholar. In addition, Rayner has earned NE-10 All-Academic First Team honors as a senior and junior, and Second Team honors as a sophomore.
Rayner leads the Purple Knights with 11.6 points per game, 6.5 rebounds per contest, a .506 field goal percentage, and 23 steals. She is 38 points away from becoming the 16th player in program history to score 1,000 career points, a milestone that Dani Rayner reached last month. And with 652 career rebounds, Jevy Rayner needs just one more board to crack the top-10 in program history.
The College Division is made up of NCAA Division II and Division III institutions, while District I is comprised of institutions from the six New England states, plus New York, New Brunswick, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Quebec. Rayner is one of just two Division II student-athletes out of the 15 people on the District I College Division All-Academic Team (Assumption College's Jess Paulson, a Third Team honoree, is the other).
Saint Michael's (10-12 overall, 7-11 NE-10) returns to action on Saturday, as the Purple Knights visit nationally-ranked league leader Southern Connecticut State University for a 1:30 p.m. contest.
