Meghan Graff named D3hoops.com Fifth Team All-American

LEWISTON, Maine -- Bates women's basketball senior captain Meghan Graff was named a D3hoops.com Fifth Team All-American on Monday, becoming the first Bobcat to earn All-America honors from D3hoops in back-to-back seasons. 

Graff (South Portland, Maine) finishes her career having received three All-America honors (two from D3hoops.com and one from the Women's Basketball Coaches Association), matching Meg Coffin '08 for the most All-America honors in program history.

This latest honor for Graff comes on the heels of being named a WBCA All-America honorable mention, D3hoops.com first team All-Region, first team All-NESCAC, and the Maine Women's Basketball Coaches Association Player of the Year.

Graff finished the season with 495 points, the second-most in one season in Bates women's basketball history. Her 1,645 career points are an all-time record for Bobcat women's hoops and the fourth-most in the history of the NESCAC.

A D3hoops.com Preseason First Team All-American, Graff averaged 20.6 points per game this season, the second-most in the NESCAC and the 20th most in the country. Graff also dished out 55 assists on the season and tallied a team-high 29 steals. 

Some of Graff's top performances in 2022-23 included 44 points on 17-29 shooting at eventual NESCAC champion Tufts, 33 points on 12-22 shooting in a win over Colby, 28 points on 12-19 shooting in a win over Saint Joseph's, and 22 points in a win over then No. 12 nationally ranked Trinity.

This is the 26th year D3hoops.com has named All-America teams, which along with those of the respective coaches' associations, are the only ones recognized in the NCAA record book.
