Herd Named to All-MAAC Third Team; Morris, Haywood Garner All-Rookie Honors
EDISON, N.J. – Quinnipiac women's basketball senior Taylor Herd (Quakertown, Pa.) has been named to the 2019-20 All-MAAC Third Team, as announced by the league during conference call on Monday morning. First years Mikala Morris (Springfield, Ohio) and Cur'Tiera Haywood (Yukon, Oklahoma) garnered unanimous All-Rookie team selections due to their play in the debut seasons at Quinnipiac.
One of three current Bobcats with three MAAC titles, Herd has averaged ten points per game in her senior season while achieving career bests in minutes played, field goals made, field goal percentage, three-point percentage, free throws, assists, and total points. The Quakertown native was the MAAC's Sixth Player of the Year as a junior last season.
Herd has 12 double-digit scoring efforts this season, including four of 20+ points. The Hartford Healthcare Connecticut Courage Award winner has achieved the 700-point and 100-assist career milestone and is just six rebounds shy of 300. The guard is currently ninth on Quinnipiac's all-time three-point list with 143, just three shy of former teammate Jen Fay for eighth.
Morris enters the postseason averaging 9.7 points per game and 6.5 rebounds per game while shooting nearly 45 percent from the field. The first year has started 15 games this season and has scored 204 points in 21 total games. Her best offensive performance came in a Jan. 18 win over Canisius during which she scored 18 points on a 9-12 shooting night.
The state of Ohio's all-time leading high school rebounder has scored at least 10 points in 13 games this season, including her last four appearances where she averaged 13 points and eight rebounds per game. The rookie has surpassed 200 points and 100 rebounds in just 21 games and also has 19 blocks on the year.
Haywood finished the regular season averaging 7.8 points per game, 3.8 rebounds per game, and is currently shooting 47.5 percent from the field and 38.8 percent from distance. The Oklahoma native's standout performance came on Jan. 18 against Canisius, when she set career highs in points (19), field goals made (7) and three-pointers made (3).
The forward has scored in double figures ten times this season, including last Thursday's win at Niagara in which she scored 17 points. The rookie has surpassed 200 points and 100 rebounds already this season.
The fifth-seeded Bobcats are in action on Thursday afternoon as they take on the fourth-seeded Manhattan College Jaspers in the the MAAC Quarterfinals at 2:30 p.m. Tickets, streaming links, and more information on the 2020 Hercules Tire MAAC Men's & Women's Basketball Championships can be found here.
