STOCKTON, Calif. – Rosie Schweizer, a redshirt junior on the Pacific women's basketball team, was one of 11 women's basketball student-athletes honored by the Division I-AAA Athletics Directors Association (DI-AAA ADA) with selection to the 21st annual Scholar-Athlete Team, presented by ARMS Software. 

"It was an honor to nominate Rosie for this award," said director of athletics Janet Lucas, who represents Pacific as a member of the DI-AAA ADA. "Her commitment to her studies, basketball and the Pacific community is inspiring."

"I cannot imagine a student-athlete more deserving of this recognition than Rosie," said women's basketball Head Coach Bradley Davis. "In the most positive sense, Rosie has truly taken advantage of her opportunities as a Pacific student-athlete. She has an internal drive to be successful on the court, in the classroom and within the culture of our department and university. I could not be prouder of Rosie for this honor, nor could I be more pleased with the way in which she represents our program and our university."

Schweizer averaged 6.2 points and 3.6 rebounds this past season, helping the Tigers to a sixth-place finish in the WCC and advancement to the WCC semifinals with two tournament wins. Schweizer played a vital role in the postseason wins, scoring 23 points with nine rebounds in the two victories. 

She played in 23 games for the Tigers, including 22 off the bench. She made a particularly impactful effort in a critical stretch in the WCC season, averaging 12.2 points over six games. Pacific won the last two games of the run, starting a critical five-game win streak that vaulted the Tigers into sixth place. 

She shot the ball well during the run, hitting 67.5 percent (27-40) of her shots from the field and 72.0 percent (18-25) from the line. She led the team in field-goal accuracy this season, hitting 47.4 percent of her shots. She recorded her first collegiate double-double during the six games, scoring 15 points with 13 rebounds against San Diego. 

The Canberra, Australia, native is majoring in political science with a minor in international studies at Pacific and has compiled a 3.98 cumulative GPA, including a 4.00 in the fall semester. Following the basketball season, she was named to the WCC All-Academic First Team for the second consecutive year. 

Basketball players from Division I-AAA ADA member institutions are eligible for this prestigious annual award. The DI-AAA ADA works to enhance initiatives common to the membership (98 Division I institutions that do not sponsor football), especially aspects related to their flagship basketball programs. Pacific men's basketball student-athlete Alphonso Anderson was recognized last year with a similar award from the DI-AAA ADA.
