Women's Basketball | Barnosky, Kornegay named to D3hoops.com All-Northeast Region team

Even after the women's basketball team's season concluded with a bitterly disappointing loss to St. Thomas in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament this past Friday, the squad got a bit of good news on Tuesday as seniors Tiffany Kornegay and co-captain Kate Barnosky were named to the D3hoops.com All-Northeast Region team.
These are the first career All-Region honors for the team's only seniors, who also earned conference recognition for the first time last month by making the All-NESCAC second team.
Barnosky, who was named to the All-Region third team, led the Jumbos in scoring with 9.2 points per game and grabbed 6.1 rebounds on average. The season was an incredible comeback effort by the Jumbos' team leader, who was forced to sit out most of last year with a knee injury. Her best effort came in the Round of 32 in the NCAA Tournament, when she posted 18 points and seven rebounds against Johns Hopkins to help Tufts advance to the Sweet 16 in Chicago.
While Kornegay did not post quite the scoring numbers that Barnosky did, she did a bit of everything and was named the NESCAC Defensive Player of the Year. Kornegay, who was named to the All-Region fourth team, pulled down 8.7 rebounds per game, good for second in the NESCAC and an incredible feat for a 5-foot-6 guard. She also led the team with 2.8 assists per game and had her best performance in the first round of the NCAAs, putting up 15 points, 10 rebounds, five assists and three steals.
