SPRINGFIELD, Mass. - Student-athletes from all 10 member institutions in the Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) were represented on the 2014-15 All-CCC Women's Basketball Team. In addition to the all-conference team, four major individual award winners and the team sportsmanship award winner were selected.

University of New England senior Kelly Coleman was named CCC Player of the Year and her junior teammate Lauren Hayden was selected CCC Defensive Player of the Year. Endicott College freshman Hannah Shaw was awarded CCC Rookie of the Year and Curry's Kylie Beltz was honored as CCC Senior Scholar-Athlete of the Year. Roger Williams University's Kelly Thompson was selected as the CCC Coach of the Year, while Gordon College received the Team Sportsmanship Award.

Voting for the All-CCC team and each of the major awards was conducted among CCC women's basketball coaches.

For the third straight year, Salve Regina's Meaghan Harden (Sandwich, Mass.) earned a selection to the first team all-conference. Averaging a league-best 20.6 points per game during the regular-season, she set a school record with 45 points in the first game of the season against Regis College (Nov. 15, 2014). A three-time player of the week selection during the 2014-15 campaign, Harden became the quickest player in school history to reach 1,000-point milestone, and currently ranks second all-time in scoring.

Harden is joined by teammate and senior captain Brianna Del Valle (Belchertown, Mass.) on the All-CCC squad. Del Valle led the Seahawks with six double-doubles in 2014-15, including an 11-point, 11-rebound effort at Curry College last Saturday. The Seahawks and Colonels face-off in the first round of the conference championships on Tuesday at 7 p.m.

Del Valle enters her final postseason with a team-best 8.1 rebounds per game.
