Women's Basketball All-Decade Team

The Wells College 2020 All-Decade Team in women's basketball comprises student-athletes that participated during the winter seasons between 2010-11 and 2019-20. The majority (six members) of the women's basketball all-decade team were members of the 2013-14 NEAC championship team that earned an NCAA berth.*

The 2020 All-Decade team includes (alphabetically) with completed seasons in parenthesis: Lindsay Achzet (2012-13 through 2015-16), Jessilyn Artaho-Aki (2011-12 through 2014-15), Ashida Cooper (2015-16, 2016-17), Holli Erkson (2012-13 through 2015-16), Kaitlynne Knapp (2013-14, 2014-15), Kamarie Maturine (2014-15 through 2017-18), Shelby Medovich (2015-16 through 2018-19), Ashley Roser (2010-11 through 2013-14), Carley Ryan (2015-16 through 2018-19) and  Kristen Ryan (2010-11 through 2013-14).

Roser is considered by many as one of the top, if not the best, women's basketball player in NEAC history. A two-time NEAC player of the year, four-time first team all-conference, four-time team captain, Roser dominated like no other Wells player. She is the school's all-time leading scorer with 2,093 points. She also holds school career totals in rebounds (1,418), blocks (256) and steals (201). She is the only player to hit 1,000 points and 1,000 rebounds. She was named the NEAC Tournament MVP after Wells won the title in 2014 and was named NEAC athlete of the week a collective 16 times over her career. Her final two seasosns were highlighted as a two-time Wells College Female Athlete of the Year recipient and are more detailed below.

In her junior year (2012-13), Roser earned her first of two NEAC Player of the Year honors and was a five-time NEAC Student-Athlete of the Week award winner leading all of NCAA Division III in both rebounds-per-game (16.6) and double-doubles (22). She also led the NEAC in both points (20.3) and blocks (3.0) per game. She reached both the 1,000-point and 1,000-rebound career marks during the season, which was highlighted by a 39-point, 27-rebound performance against SUNYIT with the point total setting a new Wells single-game record and being just two points shy of the conference's all-time single-game mark of 41, while her rebounding total was tied with three former student-athletes in the NEAC record books as the third-most ever in one game. Roser, was also the only player in the conference and just one of 13 players in all of Division III to record a triple-double that year to help lead the Express to their first playoff berth in the program's three-year history after guiding them to a program-best record of 11-6 in the NEAC.

In her senior year (2013-14), Roser earned her second NEAC Player of the Year honor. A D-III News Preseason All-American Honorable Mention, Roser posted a league-best 19 double-doubles behind averages of 22.5 points and 13 rebounds-per-game in addition to 2.3 steals and 2 blocks per game. The senior forward totaled a conference-best and program-record 562 points that season, which placed her as the NEAC's all-time leader in career points while also making her the only player in conference history to reach 2,000 points. Roser also hauled in a league-best 324 rebounds, which helped her become just the third player in NCAA Division III history to reach career totals of at least 2,000 points and 1,350 rebounds. At the close of the 2013-14 season, she stood as the active NCAA D-III leader in career points, scoring average and rebounding while being sixth nationally on the season for double-doubles and eighth in scoring. A five-time NEAC Player of the Week selection that season, Roser helped lead the Express to their first-ever NEAC North Division regular season championship en route to also being named to the All-Conference First Team. Roser finished her Wells career with 82 career double-doubles, leaving her just one shy of tying the all-time NCAA DIII record.
