STANDISH — The 2018 Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) women’s basketball postseason accolades have been released and four Saint Joseph’s College team members have been honored.

Head Coach Mike McDevitt has been named as the GNAC Coach of the Year for the second-consecutive season, junior guard Kelsi McNamara has earned First Team All-GNAC honors, junior forward Emily Benway is listed on the Second Team, and junior guard Julia Champagne of Brunswick has garnered GNAC Defensive Player of the Year and Third Team All-Conference accolades.

Champagne earns All- Conference honors for the first time in her career after averaging 12.9 points, 5.7 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.5 steals per game while shooting an even 50 percent (122- of-244) from the field, 40.7 percent (44-of-108) from downtown, and 80.2 percent (73-of-91) from the charity stripe during her third NCAA season.

Typically tasked with defending the opponent’s top scorer, Champagne becomes the first SJC player to earn Defensive Player of the Year honors since Lindsay Moore did so following the 2012-13 campaign.

Saint Joseph’s (27-1, 16-0 GNAC) claimed the GNAC’s automatic qualifier into the NCAA Tournament with a 73-59 conference championship victory at the Harold Alfond Center on Saturday and, as announced on Monday, will face UMass-Boston at Amherst College on Friday in the opening round of the Division III tourney.
