ROCK HILL, S.C. — Kristian Eanes of the Queens University of Charlotte women’s basketball team was named an honorable mention all-conference selection, the South Atlantic Conference announced last Thursday.
Eanes, a junior guard from Pittsboro and Northwood High School graduate, finished fourth in the league in scoring with an average of 16.8 points per game. She scored in double figures in 25 of her 27 games played and scored more than 20 points on 10 occasions.
On Nov. 30 versus Lenoir-Rhyne University, Eanes scored a career-high 24 points, going 12-of-14 from the field for the Royals while adding two rebounds, an assist and a steal.
A standout defensively, Eanes finished second in the conference in steals per game (2.9 SPG). She recorded a career-high eight steals on Jan. 22 at Wingate University.
Eanes’ postseason recognition marks the third consecutive season in which a Queens player has received an all-conference honor.
