NEW YORK - Senior forward A'riana Gray was named to the Preseason All-BIG EAST Team on Thursday as voted on by conference head coaches. The Musketeers were also picked to finish ninth in the preseason coaches' poll.
The Cleveland, Ohio, native earns the preseason honors for the second time in as many seasons. Gray averaged a team-high 15.8 points and 9.3 rebounds per game last year. She ranked first in the conference in rebounding and sixth in scoring. Gray also ranked 53rd in the NCAA in rebounding.
