Troy, NY---The Sage Colleges women's basketball team was honored with the Skyline Conference Sportsmanship Award with the release of the 2010-2011 All-Star Team on Wednesday. The honor for the Gators marks the third time the program has been saluted for their efforts on and off the court in the four years as a member of the league. Sage previously captured the honor in 2008-2009 and 2007-2008. The Gators finished fifth in the regular-season league race and earned the program's first post-season appearance in the conference history. By season's end, Sage went 10-14 overall and went 9-9 in the league under the guidance of sixth-season head coach, Jackie Luszczek and her staff.
Sage's rookie forward Chelsea Martin (Davenport, NY/Jefferson Central) led the team and was saluted for her outstanding play as she was named to the All-Star Second Team for her efforts. She finished her campaign with a team-leading 11.2 ppg average. A starter in all 24 games, she led Sage with 268 points and ranks 12th in the league in scoring. She shot 78.7% from the line and added a 6.8 rpg average with 15 blocks. She ranks 13th in rebounding and 14th in blocked shots with a 0.63 per game average. Her single-season free throw percentage is among the single-season leaders at the No. 7 spot.
Over the course of her rookie season, Martin earned a spot on the Betty Abgott Invitational All-Tournament Team on opening weekend at Buffalo State College, while also earning three selections to the Skyline Conference Honor Roll as well as one selection as the Skyline Conference Rookie of the Week on December 13.
