LOCK HAVEN, Pa. – IUP women's basketball sophomore guard was selected to the All-Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) West First Team, the league announced Thursday afternoon.
 
In her second full season with the program, Baughman stepped into the team's starting rotation and became a reliable two-way guard for the Crimson Hawks.
 
The Mount Joy, Pa. native started and played in all 28 games, leading the team in scoring at 14.8 points/game, helping the program to its 17th consecutive PSAC tournament berth.
 
Baughman averaged over 35 minutes per contest, posting 119 rebounds, 84 assists and 43 steals. She logged at least 10 points in 21 games for IUP, pouring in a career-best 32 points (7-13 3FG) at Millersville in late December.
 
Samantha Pirosko (Gannon) was named the PSAC West Athlete of the Year, while teammate Bri Claxon earned Freshman of the Year laurels. Allycia Harris (Cal U) earned Defensive Player of the Year and Edinboro's Callie Wheeler rounded out the major award winners as the league's Coach of the Year.
