Women’s Basketball Gains Three USCAA All-Americans

MEDIA, Pennsylvania -- Three Penn State Brandywine women's basketball players received all-American awards from the USCAA on Tuesday evening at the association's annual award banquet as senior Cashae Hinton (Norristown, Pa./Norristown) was selected to the second team and senior Lauren Munro (Glenolden, Pa./Interboro) and junior Olivia Encarnacion (Glenolden, Pa./Interboro) both earned honorable mention accolades.

Hinton claimed second team honors for the second consecutive season after finishing fourth nationally in assists per game (4.7) and fifth in steals (3.8). She also averaged 10.9 points and 4.2 rebounds per outing, while leading the team in free throw shooting at 74 percent.

Hinton finished her four-year career as the sixth-leading scorer in program history with 1,176 points and added 415 assists and 337 steals.

Munro was also a 1,000-point scorer for the Lions, pouring in 1,262 points over the last four seasons, the fourth-highest total in school history.

This winter, Munro led the team in rebounding for the second-straight year, averaging 5.5 boards per game, while finishing second in scoring at 11.2 points per game. She shot over 53 percent from the field, the top mark in the Penn State University Athletic Conference and fifth-highest percentage nationally.

Encarnacion garnered her second all-American award from the USCAA during the 2015-16 academic year as she was also an honorable mention women's soccer player in the fall.

In 26 games, Encarnacion posted a team-leading 11.9 points per game, including three 20-point performances. She also added 4.2 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game.

Encarnacion, who will also compete for the Lions' softball team in the spring, owns 923 career points in 74 games over the last three seasons.
