Posted: Mar 10, 2023

HAVERFORD, Pa. – The 2023 Centennial Conference winter academic honorees were announced on Thursday afternoon, and Haverford junior guard Ally Landau (Livingston, N.J.) l was named the Women's Basketball Winter Scholar-Athlete of the Year.

The psychology major was presented the award as a junior or senior member of the All-Centennial team with the highest cumulative grade point average.

Landau earned First-team All-Centennial Conference honors for the second consecutive season after a stellar junior campaign She finished second in the CC in points per game (17.1) and also tops the conference in minutes (983), minutes per game (37.8), three-pointers made (48), and total points (444). She matched a Haverford single-game record with a career-best 36 points in the Centennial Conference tournament against Muhlenberg and logged double-digit scoring in all but two games this year.

This is the first Centennial Conference Scholar-Athlete of the Year award win for the women's basketball program since Samantha Wetzel '18 took home the award in back-to-back seasons (2016-17 and 2017-18). Wetzel's honors were the first in Haverford program history at the time.

Last fall, Landau was presented with the Archibald MacIntosh Award. The MacIntosh Award honors the Haverford College sophomore who during their first-year on campus emerged as the top scholar-athlete in the class. Due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, the honor was not awarded in 2021, and thus was presented to both the top junior and top sophomore scholar athlete in 2022.

Haverford fell in its sixth consecutive trip to the Centennial Conference semifinals last Friday night, Haverford earned a consecutive postseason berth and won 15 or more games for the 11th consecutive season.
