After captaining the Rams to their second straight campaign with 22 regular season wins and a three seed in the conference championship, Erin Rooney (Christchurch, New Zealand/Marian/Monmouth) and Abigail Corning (Wethersfield, Conn./Wethersfield) have received all-league accolades from the Atlantic 10.
 
Rooney found a spot on the All-Atlantic 10 First Team, while Corning earned a place on the All-Atlantic 10 Second Team.  For their accomplishments in the classroom as well as on the hardwood, both Rooney and Corning were also named to the Academic All-Conference Team.
 
"I am so proud to see Erin and Abigail recognized for their outstanding individual accomplishments," said Head Coach Stephanie Gaitley.  "A lot of teams have great players, but Erin and Abigail have taken the Fordham program to unprecedented heights both on and off the court.  They have been the heart and soul of our squad all year long and make us all very proud to be Rams."

Rooney, a 2013 First Team All-Atlantic 10 selection, has received the honor for the second straight season.  The Christchurch, New Zealand, native leads the Rams in scoring (18.2 ppg), rebounding (7.1 rpg), assists (5.3 apg) and steals (1.4 spg) heading into the postseason, anchoring a Rams squad that has already broken or tied several school records.  Rooney finished the regular season ranked third in the conference in scoring, while coming in second in defensive rebounds and minutes played.  She also sits at fourth in the conference in assists.
