1996 Honorable Mention WBCA
A two-sport star from the day she entered Lycoming College, Annette Weller saved her best for her final two years at the school, as she set a school-record with 536 points and averaged 20.6 points per game for the women’s basketball team en route to first-team all-conference honors as a junior with the women’s basketball team. She followed that by immediately joining the softball team and hitting .384 with five triples, the third-most in school history, and 28 RBIs, the second-most, while playing first base for the Warriors and helping the team to the Commonwealth Conference championship. Weller spent one more season with the women’s basketball team, earning her second First Team All-Freedom Conference honors and posting 20.5 points per game, as she crossed 1,000 points in her career. Weller, a 5-10 forward from Winfield, Pa., was named to the WBCA Honorable Mention All-American team after the season, as she finished her career with school records for scoring average (16.7) and free throws made (278). She is still listed amongst the top five in school history in no less than 10 categories and amazingly, she scored 1,287 career points even though she played in just five games as a freshman. On the diamond, she was just as successful, hitting .347 in her career and finishing her career in the top 10 in five offensive categories. She was inducted into the Lycoming College Athletics Hall of Fame in 2001.
