WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Davidson women's basketball team landed four members on the Atlantic 10 postseason awards list — Kyra Bruyndoncx, Charlise Dunn, Candice Lienafa and Issy Morgan — the league office announced Tuesday.
Dunn and Morgan were placed on the A-10 All Conference Second and Third teams, respectively, while Bruyndoncx and Lienafa each received All-Rookie Team honors.
A Victoria, Australia native in just her second season as a Wildcat, Dunn has repeated on the league's postseason awards list after earning Third Team recognition a season ago. Over 25 games and 22 starts, the junior guard ended the regular season with per-game averages of 12.0 points, 6.1 rebounds, 1.7 assists 1.6 steals and 1.2 blocks.
Dunn tallied 15 double-figure games, including four contests with over 20 points scored. Her regular season was highlighted by a career-high 32 points at George Mason (1/22), where she shot an efficient 11-of-23 (.478) from the floor and 6-of-14 (.429) from beyond the arc. Additionally, the versatile guard notched three double-double performances this season, bringing her career total to five.
Morgan, a senior point guard for the 'Cats, is no stranger to A-10 awards after claiming a spot on the 2021-22 All-Rookie Team in her debut season. The veteran earned this year's accolades after averaging 9.5 points, 2.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists per contest in addition to shooting .418 from the field, .394 from 3-point range and .836 at the charity stripe.
Over 24 games played and 23 in the starting lineup, the Sydney, Australia, native tabbed three 20-plus point performances, including a career-high of 23 in 35 minutes of action vs. Wofford (11/16), where she shot .500 from the field, .500 from 3-point range and drained all six of her free throw attempts.
From Mol, Belgium, Bruyndoncx made her mark in her first season at Davidson, tallying a roster-best .857 free throw percentage to go along with 7.1 ppg, 2.1 rpg and 1.1 apg. Showing her strength from distance, the freshman guard made the roster's third-most 3-pointers over the regular season with 37, averaging 1.2 per game.
Bruyndoncx was one of just two 'Cats to have seen time in all 30 contests so far this year, making 15 starts. The rookie has tallied nine double-digit scoring games with a season-best of 17 on a 6-of-8 showing from the field, including three made 3s against La Salle (1/2).
In 29 games played, Lienafa enters the postseason averaging 7.6 ppg and 3.8 rpg, while having held the league's second-best field goal percentage (.562) for most of the season. The Quebec, Canada, native scored a season-best 18 points in just the third game of her career at Cincinnati (11/13).
Overall, the freshman forward has notched 11 contests scoring at least 10 points as well as 19 games shooting above .500 from the field.
After recording a program-best 13-5 conference record and securing its first double bye in the Atlantic 10 Tournament, Davidson will await the victor of game seven for a quarterfinals matchup at 7:30 p.m. on March 7 in Henrico, Va.
