Alyssa Baron is Ivy Rookie of the Year

It might not be a surprise, but Penn guard Alyssa Baron was named Ivy League Rookie of the year after a stellar freshman campaign in which she won the Ancient Eight scoring title, averaging 16.6 points per game — 2.7 points more than her closest competitor.

Along with award, Baron was an honorable mention in all-Ivy team voting and was picked for the all-Rookie team. She was the only Penn player to make an all-Ivy list this year.

The Miami native is just the second-ever ROY selection for Penn after Diana Caramanico receieved the honor 13 years ago. She's the first-ever freshman to take home the scoring title, and is tied for third in Ivy women's history for most Rookie of the Week awards received with seven. She was also third in the league this season in minutes per game, trailing teammate Erin Power and Player of the Year Addie Micir of Princeton. The full Ivy-women's honor roll is as follows:
