SUNY Potsdam's Kellicutt earns all-conference honors

Posted

SUNY Potsdam senior Aimee Kellicutt was named to the 2010-11 All-State University of New York Athletic Conference Women’s Basketball third team, the league announced Monday, Feb. 28.

Kellicutt, a guard from Lisle, N.Y., currently ranks in the top 10 in the conference in scoring (12.1 points per game), assists (2.92 per game), free throw percentage (.763), steals (2.52 per game) and minutes played (30.4 per game). In addition, she led the team in field goal percentage (.378) and rebounding (4.2 per game).

As the team’s starting point guard and one of its two senior captains, Kellicutt embraced her leadership responsibilities while using her quickness and playmaking ability on both ends of the floor.

“I’m pleased Aimee is being recognized for her hard work and consistent effort this season,” Potsdam coach Tara Ruckh said. “It’s nice to have a player recognized by the conference and its coaches even without our team having a lot of success.”

Kellicutt, whose scoring average jumped to 13.3 points per game against league opponents, helped the Bears remain in the hunt for a SUNYAC Tournament spot until the final weekend of the regular season. In early February, she was selected to the 2010-11 Capital One Academic All-District 1 first team as chosen by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA).
