Raeshaun Gaffney Named to All-BIG EAST Honorable Mention Team

NEW YORK – Senior guard Raeshaun Gaffney was named to the All-BIG EAST Honorable Mention Team on Wednesday as voted on by the conference's 10 head coaches.

The Fairfield, Ohio, native becomes the second Xavier player to earn All-BIG EAST honors, joining Briana Glover who earned the same recognition last season. Xavier joined the BIG EAST in 2013.

Gaffney leads the team in scoring at 14.1 points per game, ranking 10th in the BIG EAST. She also ranks sixth in three-point field-goal percentage (.392) and ninth in free-throw percentage (.750).

She has scored in double figures in all but five games this season and has eclipsed the 20-point barrier four times. The guard scored a career-high 33 points in the win over Seton Hall on Jan. 4, the second most points in a game this season by a BIG EAST player.

Gaffney and the Musketeers open BIG EAST Tournament action on Saturday, March 4 in the opening round. No. 7 seed Xavier takes on No. 10 seed Butler at 5 p.m. ET at the Al McGuire Center in Milwaukee, Wis.
