INDIANA, Pa. – IUP junior forward Nyshae' Weaver was named to the 2024-25 Division II Conference Commissioners Associations (D2CCA) All-Atlantic Region Second Team, announced Thursday.

Joining Huffman on the 2024-25 All-Atlantic Region First Team are Emily Chmiel (East Stroudsburg), Nya Morris (Claflin), Naia Pulliam (Kutztown), and Emilee Weakley (Frostburg State). These five women are now eligible for All-America recognition.
