LINCOLN UNIVERSITY, Pa. – Senior Bryanna Brown (New York, N.Y./Bishop Loughlin) earned preseason recognition from the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association, and the Lincoln University women's basketball team was picked to finish second in the Northern Division.
Bowie State was picked to win the Northern Division, followed by Lincoln, Virginia Union, Elizabeth City State, Virginia State, and Shaw. In the Southern Division, Fayetteville State was selected to win, followed by Johnson C. Smith, Winston-Salem State, Livingstone, Saint Augustine's, and Claflin.
"We are very excited about the opportunity to just play," said Lincoln University women's basketball coach Janice Washington. "This year's preseason poll is a close reflection of how the 2019-20 season wrapped up. There have been several changes within the conference rosters since then, so we look forward to seeing how it plays out. Most importantly, our focus is on being better today than we were yesterday and consistently representing Lincoln University with a sense of pride when we step on the court."
Brown led the team in scoring with 10.0 points per game as Lincoln was the lone CIAA team to play last season. She finished with 7.4 points and 3.3 rebounds in the 2019-20 as Lincoln won a school-record 26 games.
"Bryanna Brown (New York, N.Y./Bishop Loughlin) exemplifies what coaches want in their student-athletes ... a relentless pursuit of greatness as it relates to everything she touches," said Washington. "Bryanna works hard to be great at everything she does and I'm ecstatic that she was selected for the CIAA Preseason All-Conference team."
Lincoln hosts Millersville 8 p.m. November 12 to kick off the season in the CIAA/PSAC Challenge.
