2024-25 Academic All-District® Women's Basketball Teams (NCAA, NAIA)  PDF / doc

GREENWOOD, Ind.--Four Maine Maritime Academy student-athletes--senior Erianna Moore (Fitchburg, Mass./Worcester Academy), junior Evelyn Dagan (Castine, Maine/George Stevens Academy), and sophomores Hailey Blanchard (Colorado Springs, Colo./The Vanguard School), Laney Lyle (Cypress, Texas/Cy-Fair High School)--were named Tuesday to the College Sports Communicators 2024-25 Academic All-District® Women's Basketball Division III Team to recognize the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances on the court and in the classroom.

Moore leads that quartet--which tied for the North Atlantic Conference lead--as her candidacy has been moved forward to the Academic All-America® ballot. She is one of only two NAC candidates (Sage Smith Vermont State University Lyndon) and the only student-athlete from a Maine-based institution on the national ballot. Dagan and Moore also made 2024 CSC Academic All-District®.

The CSC Academic All-District® teams include the student-athletes listed at the links above, and those honorees were considered for advancement to the CSC Academic All-America® ballot. The minimum criteria includes at least a sophomore academically and athletically, a 3.50 cumulative grade-point average or above, and competed in 90 percent of the institution's games played or must start in at least 66 percent of the institution's games.

Moore, a guard, earned first-team all-state recognition from the Maine Women's Basketball Coaches Association and was selected the 2025 NAC Defensive Player of the Year and All-NAC First Team. She led the Mariners in scoring with 12.4 points per game on 42.6 percent shooting from the field (113-265), assists (4.4 apg) and assist-to-turnover ratio (+2.1) for 21st in NCAA Division III. She also averaged 6.3 rebounds. The two-time Scoutware/D3hoops.com National Team of the Week honoree who surpassed 1,000 career points this season collected two NAC weekly certificates (1 POW, 1 DPOW). She is a three-time All-NAC performer including first team in back-to-back seasons, and MWBCA Player of the Week.

Blanchard chipped in 7.7 points and 2.9 rebounds per game in her first season as a full-time starter at her guard position. She established career highs across the statistical board including assists (57), steals (22), blocked shots (14) and shooting efficiency from the field and free throw line. She is an airman in the Maine Air National Guard, serves as an academic tutor for MMA students, participates on the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, and is a board member Crossover for Change--an organization that helps young girls in Uganda. She is a Matson Leadership Diversity and Commander's Be the One scholarship recipient.

Dagan, a shooting guard, set a school record with a conference-best 88 three-pointers made and .433 three-point field goal percentage--good for eighth in the nation. Her 88 treys are also fourth in NCAA Division III. The All-NAC Second Team pick posted a career season that included 11.4 points per game, 64 rebounds, nine blocks, .786 free throw percentage (11-14), field goal percentage (.458; 110-240) and three-point accuracy. 

Also a guard, Lyle contributed 2.9 points while appearing in all 28 games for the Mariners. Her co-curricular campus activities include membership with the Society of Women's Engineers and Fellowship of Christian Athletes. A multiple Dean's List honoree and academic all-conference standout, she will serve a summer engineering internship with the American Bureau of Shipping in Houston Texas, to shadow many other engineers in electrical, mechanical and maritime industries. 

Blanchard, Dagan and Moore all major in international business and logistics, while Lyle studies power engineering technology. They helped MMA to the NAC East Division crown with a 13-0 conference record and its third-consecutive championship game berth. The Mariners recorded a 23-5 overall record for their fifth-straight 20-win season (excluding 2021 COVID-19 year).

The CSC Academic All-America® program separately recognizes honorees in four divisions — NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III and NAIA. Student-athletes selected as CSC Academic All-America® finalists are denoted with an asterisk and will advance to the national ballot to be voted on by CSC members. First-, second- and third-team Academic All-America® women's honorees will be announced April 16.

The Division II and III CSC Academic All-America® programs are partially financially supported by the NCAA Division II and III national governance structures to assist CSC with handling the awards fulfillment aspects for the 2024-25 Divisions II and III Academic All-America® programs. The NAIA CSC Academic All-America® program is partially financially supported through the NAIA governance structure.
