WALTHAM, Mass. – Brandeis University women's basketball senior Emma Reavis of Miami, Oklahoma, and sophomore Caitlin Gresko of Howell, New Jersey, have each been named honorable mention All-University Athletic Association for their performances in the 2022-23 season.
"This is a well-deserved honor for both Caitlin and Emma," said head coach Carol Simon, in her 36th season of coaching the Judges. "The UAA always represents many of the best D3 players in the country, so being selected on the All-UAA selections is a tremendous accolade. Obviously, they are both extremely talented basketball players but they also have proven excellence in the classroom by being UAA All-Academic honorees as well. I am so proud of them and that all of their hard work has been noticed!"
Gresko was the Judges' leading scorer this season, averaging 11.4 points per game and finishing 13th in the league. Gresko also finished fifth in the UAA in free throws made (76) and free-throw percentage (78.4%). She tied for second on the squad in rebounding (4.7 rpg) and was third in assists (1.5 apg) and tied for second in steals (0.8 spg).
Gresko started all 25 games and scored in double figures 14 times, including three 20-point contests. She scored a career-best 22 in a loss at Carnegie Mellon on Feb. 5. She also had two double-digit rebounding games to produce a pair double-doubles, highlighted by a 12-board performance in an overtime loss to MIT, December 3.
Reavis, who was an All-UAA honorable mention last year, finished second on the team in scoring, averaging 10.1 points per game. She led the squad in assists (3.3 apg) and steals (1.6 spg), finishing fifth in the UAA in assists and 11th in steals. Her 83 assists are tied for 20th on the Judges' all-time single-season list, while her 264 assists are seventh on the career list despite playing just three seasons because of COVID-19. Her 3.6 assists per game are third on Brandeis's career list. Reavis also finished one steal shy of 100 for her career. Reavis never missed a game in her three-year career, starting all 74.
This season, she had three double-digit scoring performances, highlighted by 26 points against Tufts on Nov. 19. Reavis had a pair of double-digit rebounding games, leading to two double-doubles, including a near triple-double against Eastern Nazarene on Dec. 6, when she had 11 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists. Reavis also had 18 points and nine assists in a 77-71 upset of then-seventh-ranked Rochester on Jan. 20.
The Brandeis women's basketball team finished with a 6-19 record this season. Gresko is the only returning starter next year.
Reavis is a 2019 graduate of Deerfield Academy.
Gresko is a 2021 graduate of Howell High School.
