Ricker Named 2015-16 CoSIDA Academic All-District

MARS HILL, N.C. – Senior guard Ansley Ricker has been named 2015-16 CoSIDA Academic All-District as announced on Thursday, February 11. Ricker currently holds a perfect 4.0 G.P.A. in Biology and has the highest average of the five total recipients from district three winners.

Ricker has been a pivotal part to the Lions' success thus far. She leads the team with 15.3 points per game, which is also good enough for fourth overall in the South Atlantic Conference. She sits in seventh place within the league shooting 36.4% from behind the arc. Ricker's defense has also been very key for the run Mars Hill has been on over the past few weeks as she averages 1.8 steals per game, ranking sixth in the SAC.

Ricker and the Lions currently sit in third place in the conference and look to build upon that as they hit the home stretch of the schedule.
