Zaria Shazer of the Marist women's basketball team was honored by the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference on Monday morning, as Shazer was named to the All-MAAC Third Team.

In 28 games this season, Shazer averaged 14.1 points, 8.4 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.4 steals per game. Her 14.1 points per game ranked third in the MAAC, while her career-high 8.4 rebounds per game slots her second in the conference. Of her 19 career double-doubles, 10 have come in this season alone.
