Elizabeth Sunderhaus has completed a standout freshman season with the Cedar Crest College women's basketball team in Allentown, Pa.

The Badin High School graduate garnered three honors in the Colonial States Athletic Conference. She was named Rookie of the Year while earning spots on the CSAC's first unit and Sportsmanship Team.

Sunderhaus, a 6-foot forward/center, led the Falcons in scoring (14.5) and rebounding (12.1) this year. She shot 51.3 percent from the floor and 81.9 percent from the foul line, averaging 2.8 assists, 2.3 blocked shots and 1.8 steals per game.

She became the first Cedar Crest player to be named first team all-conference since the 1998-99 campaign.
