BRENTWOOD, Tenn. – After being the most frequent winner of the Ohio Valley Conference's Newcomer of the Week award, Morehead State women's basketball's Gabby Crawford secured a spot on the league's All-Newcomer Team, the conference announced Tuesday.

The Munford, Tenn. native becomes the eighth Eagle to earn a place on the OVC's All-Newcomer team since its inception during the 2005-06 season. She's also secured Morehead State a member of said team for the third-straight season, the second-longest streak in program history.

"Gabby made a steady development this season," remarked head coach Greg Todd. "She does a great job defending and rebounds very well. She is also an excellent passer and has a high basketball IQ."

Crawford concluded the regular season as Morehead State's leading scorer in conference play, averaging 12.2 points per game, ranking 13th in the OVC in scoring in league-only play. She also represented the Eagle's leading rebounder, corralling 8.7 boards per contest to rank fourth in the conference in OVC play.

On the glass, she also ranked third in the conference in both offensive and defensive rebounds per game, averaging 2.7 boards per contest on the offensive glass while cleaning up to the tune of 6.0 rebounds per game on the defensive end. She's one of just two players in the conference to rank in the top-five in the league in both categories during OVC play.

On the season, Crawford recorded six double-doubles against OVC opponents while also posting 13 double-figure scoring games and seven double-digit rebounding games in conference contests. She also finished the season by scoring in double-figures in eight of the last nine games.
