WHITE PLAINS, NY - Brittany Shields (Cold Spring, NY/Haldane) has claimed yet another honor to her name on Thursday as she was named to the Division II Women's Basketball First Team All-Met. This is Shields's third major award that she has claimed following her brilliant freshman season as she was also named as the NE-10 Freshman of the Year, and the ECAC Rookie of the Year.
Shields helped guide the Setters to an 18-11 record for the season, and 13-9 in the Northeast-10 Conference. Shields set her career high of 32 points on February 26th against Bloomfield College as she went 9-of-12 from the field to help guide the Setters to a big non-conference victory.

Shields's amazing freshman campaign also got recognition in the Pace record books as well. Shields finished the year with 433 points which ranks her 2nd all-time for most points scored by a freshman in her rookie season in Pace University history. She was 27 points shy of the all-time record set by Jen DiMaggio who scored 460 points in her freshman year. Shields finished with 253 rebounds on the season as well which also put her in 2nd place all-time for most rebounds by a freshman in Pace history. Mary Ellen Esch has the freshman record for most rebounds in a season with 325.
The rest of the First-Team ALL-MET was comprised of Kymira Woodberry, Molloy; Mackenzie Lynch, Caldwell; Althea Chambers, Dominican; Molly Tubridy, Dowling; Christie Marrone, Dowling; Jennifer DiChiara, Queens; and Amanda Bartlett, Queens.
