The SJC women's basketball team recently celebrated their inaugural season in the Great Northeast Athletic Conference with an awards dinner at Rose's Restaurant in Windham. The Monks posted a 15-10 record, qualified for conference playoffs and had several players recognized by the GNAC. The awards were voted upon by the players and were announced by Coach Deb Reardon at the end of the evening.

SO Carolyn Freeman (Scarborough, ME/Catherine McAuley HS) received 2007-08 Most Valuable Player honors after leading the team in nearly every statistical category, including scoring (12.4 PPG), rebounding (6.5 RPG), assists (2.7 APG) and blocked shots (0.5 BPG). Her 60 three-point field goals made during the season not only led the team, but also placed Freeman in the SJC women's basketball record books behind Kristen Chavarie (68 made in 1996-97) and tied with Neile Joler (1984-85) for the second-most three-pointers made in a single season. Freeman was named to the GNAC All-Conference First Team after the conclusion of the season, was listed on the GNAC weekly honor roll four times and was named as the Women's Basketball Coaches Association Player of the Week on January 21st.

JR Tri-Captain Aly Ludwig (Waldoboro, ME/Medomak Valley HS) earned the 2007-08 Best Defender Award and once again handled all the difficult defensive assignments this season. Ludwig's 53 steals led the Royal Blue and her 4.8 rebounds per game ranked third on the team. She grabbed three or more steals in 12 of 23 games in which she played and also averaged 7.0 points and 2.4 assists per contest. Ludwig was named category leader in steals by the Maine Women's Basketball Association.

FY Sarah Fournier (Jay, ME/ Mt. Blue HS) was honored with the Most Team Spirit Award. Known for her positive outlook and contagious enthusiasm, Fournier kept the team pumped all season. Fournier gave her teammates something to cheer about as she went 4 for 6 from behind the arc for a career high 12 points against Norwich in February.

FY Kayla Boston (N. Berwick, ME/Noble HS) received the Most Improved Award. Finding a niche on a guard-heavy squad was a challenge for this newcomer, but she set herself apart with speed and aggressive defense. Boston's hard work paid off as she worked her way into the rotation during the second half of the season.
