GIBSONIA, Pa. – Hilbert College forward Autumn Lee-Jeffries (Buffalo, NY/Holy Angels) was selected to the All-Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference (AMCC) first team for her performance in the 2004-05 season. 

 

Lee-Jeffries started all 25 games for the women’s basketball team, averaging 15.1 points and 10.9 rebounds.  Her 3.8 blocks per game led the conference, and ranked second amongst NCAA Division III women.   The junior also registered 12 games in which she recorded double figures in both points and rebounds, and was named AMCC Player of the Week for the week of February 20.  Lee-Jeffries was also selected Hilbert College Student-Athlete of the Month for November 2004.

 

“Autumn had a great year for us,” first year head coach Kara Rehbaum said.  “This award will help her to understand what a dominating player she can be next season.  When the game was on the line, we knew that Autumn was in there fighting until the final buzzer.  I am sure that this award will motivate her to become one of the best players to have played at Hilbert College.”
