STANDISH, ME - Saint Joseph's College Women's Basketball senior Carolyn Freeman (Scarborough, ME/McAuley) has been selected to participate in the 2010 New England Women's Basketball Association (NEWBA) Senior All-Star Classic.

The annual contest will be played at Western New England College on Saturday, March 27th at 1:00 PM. Freeman and Jess Mellen from Rivier College are the only two players from the Great Northeast Athletic Conference who were selected to play in the game. Overall, twenty-two players from around New England will participate.

In her final collegiate season, Freeman averaged 10.0 points, 4.9 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game with a 38.6% (34-88) success rate from three-point distance. The senior guard is one of the finest three-point shooters in recent team history, as she ranks third in both threes made (173) and attempted (518) and eighth in three-point efficiency (33.4%).

Freeman, a two-time All-GNAC honoree, became the 19th player in program history to eclipse the 1,000-point plateau during her senior season and closed out her career with 1,111 points, 593 caroms and an 11.1 PPG average.

Saint Joseph's posted a 12-12 overall record and played to a 7-5 tilt in Great Northeast Athletic Conference play during the 2009-10 campaign.
