Emory's Misha Jackson & Hannah Lilly Earn All-UAA Basketball Honors

Emory sophomore Misha Jackson (Atlanta, GA) and freshman Hannah Lilly (Mercer Island, WA) have been  recognized for their play during the 2010-11 season, with both earning Second Team All-University Athletic Association basketball honors.  The all-league selections were chosen by the conference coaches.  In addition, Lilly was tabbed as the league’s Rookie of the Year.

In her first season with the Eagles following her transfer from Florida Southern, the 5-foot-11 Jackson started 21 of 25 games and ranked second on the team and 15^th among UAA players in overall scoring with a 10.5 points-per-game average.  She scored in double figures on 11 occasions and recorded a pair of season-high tying 21-point contests  (at NYU, Jan. 30 & at Carnegie Mellon on Feb. 20).  She shot a team-high 48.0 percent from the field (108-of-225), good for the No. 8 spot on the league ladder.  She tied Danielle Landry for the team lead in total rebounds with 167, and her 6.7 per-game showing in that category ranked fifth on the UAA chart.  Jackson recorded three double-figure rebounding games and either led or shared for the team lead in that department on 10 occasions.  She chalked up a team-high 47 steals, good for a 13^th-place on the school’s seasonal list, and her 1.9 per-game average tied for fifth in the UAA. In league affairs, Jackson scored at an 11.2 per-game clip, good for 11^th place among league performers, while her 6.5 per-game average on the glass topped the club and ranked fourth in the loop. She averaged 1.1 blocks per game over 14 league encounters, good for a fourth-place tie in the conference, and she was second in offensive rebounds (3.1 orpg).   

The 5-foot-8 Lilly started 22 of 25 games and led the team in scoring with her 11.6 per-game average ranking 11^th in the UAA.  A double-figure scorer in 14 contests (eight in UAA games), she knocked down a team-high 41 three-point field goals and her 1.6 treys-per-game average was good for the No. 8 position on the UAA ladder.  She either led or shared for the team’s scoring lead on seven occasions and posted the team’s top two individual scoring performances of the campaign, 22 points in games against Piedmont College (Dec. 4) and Sewanee (Nov. 19). In league action, her 11.1 per-game scoring effort was good for 11^th place in the league.  She is just the second Emory player to be named UAA Rookie of the Year since the award was initiated in 2000-01, joining Stephanie Seibert in earning that distinction.

Emory concluded the season with an overall record of 11-14, 4-10 in UAA action.
