NORTH ATTLEBORO, MA. – Pace University Women's Basketball collected a pair of postseason honors from the Northeast 10 (NE10) Conference, as the NE10 announced its 2025-26 All-Conference teams on Wednesday afternoon. Senior forward Ciara Collins was voted a First-Team selection, while freshman forward Anisa Akinola earned a spot on the All-Rookie Team.

She finished with 440 total points, shot .399 from the field, and added 43 three-pointers while converting .868 from the free-throw line.

Collins delivered a string of high-impact performances throughout the season, highlighted by multiple 20-point outings, and her production also earned her Northeast 10 Player of the Week honors once. She added another major accolade during the year with a Metropolitan Player of the Week award, further cementing her standing as one of the top performers in the region.

Akinola, a freshman forward from Livingston, N.J., earned All-Rookie recognition after making an immediate impact in her first collegiate season. She averaged 10.7 points and 6.2 rebounds per game, totaling 290 points and 168 rebounds while providing steady two-way play in the frontcourt.

Akinola's ability to score through contact, rebound in traffic, and contribute defensively showed up week after week, and she collected four Northeast 10 Rookie of the Week honors during the season. She also added 43 assists and 41 steals, showcasing her activity on both ends of the floor.

Together, Collins' standout senior campaign and Akinola's breakout freshman season highlight another season in the books for the Blue and Gold.
