In Review

The six seniors on the women’s basketball team are leaving with a remarkable record of achievement.

From 2015 to 2018, Rochester won 80 games (lost 30), made three consecutive appearances in the NCAA Division III playoffs (2015–16 through 2017–18), and reached the Elite Eight twice—first as sophomores and again this winter as seniors.

The team’s final record for this season was 24–5, including a second-place finish in the UAA and a conference record of 11–3.

Alexandra Leslie and Lauren Deming were the most dynamic four-year scoring combination in the program’s history. Between them, they totaled 3,053 points. Leslie scored 1,848 points and finished second all-time behind Jody Patrick Lavin ’82. Deming added 1,205 points and finished seventh on the all-time scoring list.

Lizzy Atkinson made 79 three-point field goals in her career, 75 in the last two years (38 as a junior, 37 as a senior). Mary Kronenwetter had 56 career blocked shots and 398 points. Brynn Lauer ’18 (T5) wound up 12th in career assists (225), particularly in the Elite Eight seasons (105 assists in 2016; 88 in 2018). Jillian Silvestri had 35 steals and 29 blocks over four seasons, helping lead a team that rotated 10 players onto and off the game floor.
