The 6'2" center was also named First Team All-Ivy League and All-Ivy League Rookie Team to add to her ECAC accolades Her play alongside seniors Michelle Maldonado and Colleen Kelly was one of the major factors in helping the Quakers finish their best season in seven years. Penn finished with an overall record of 13-13 and an Ivy League mark of 8-6. Caramanico led the Quakers this season with 20.2 points per game and 10 rebounds per contest. She was named Ivy League Rookie of the Week 10 times this season, including six straight to end the '97-'98 season. Penn's super-frosh led the Ivy League in field goal percentage (.546) and was second in blocks (1.3), scoring (20.2) and rebounding (10.0). Caramanico is the only freshman on the top-30 NCAA rebounding leaders list (28) and is currently 34th in the country on the NCAA scoring leaders list. Caramanico stands second in Penn history for points in a season (524) and most field goals made in a season (209). On her present pace, she will smash Kristin Brendell's ('91) school record for career points which currently stands at 1,656. -- Josh Callahan
