CSC PRESS RELEASE
 
SLIPPERY ROCK, Pa. – Slippery Rock University women's basketball players Regan Atkins, Kayley Joseph-Bernard and Deryn Moye were all honored on the 2024-25 College Sports Communicators Academic All-District Team, the organization announced Tuesday.
 
In order to be eligible to earn a CSC Academic All-District selection, a student-athlete who is at least a sophomore must own a cumulative grade point average above 3.50 and have significant athletic credentials. Additionally, student-athletes must have competed in 90 percent of their institution's games or have started at least 66 percent of its contests.
 
Atkins, Joseph-Bernard and Moye make up the program's largest single-season class to the CSC Academic All-District honor. SRU garnered two spots on the team last year in Moye and Kristina Donza.
 
Few members in Rock women's basketball history have had as good of a first two years as Atkins, who was named an All-Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference Western Division selection earlier this month after being voted as the PSAC West Freshman of the Year last season.
 
Atkins finished the season with a team-leading 11.4 points per game alongside 5.9 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.1 steals per contest. The sophomore from New Castle, Pennsylvania shot 41.6 percent from the field (84-of-202) including 33.9 percent from the 3-point arc (21-of-62).
 
After two seasons of play, Atkins ranks third all-time at SRU with an average of 34.2 minutes per game, 14^th with 13.5 points per game and ninth with 4.1 defensive rebounds per game. On top of tallying 620 points, 260 rebounds and 73 assists through her career, Atkins owns a 3.59 GPA with 62 credit hours logged as a safety management major.
 
A junior transfer from Hofstra University, Joseph-Bernard became an immediate asset to Slippery Rock by starting 23 of the 26 games played in. In addition to providing 6.8 points in 30.5 minutes per game, Joseph-Bernard led The Rock with 6.8 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.5 assists and 1.1 blocks per game.
 
Joseph-Bernard was the team's leading rebounder in 13 of the season's 26 games. With 177 total rebounds on the year, Joseph-Bernard totaled the most rebounds by a transfer in their first year at SRU since Jasmine Cooper's 180 boards 13 years ago. A native of Milton, Ontario, Joseph-Bernard has earned a 3.60 GPA with 79 credits as a criminal justice major.
 
Moye appeared in 25 different games including four starts, tallying 2.6 points, 1.0 rebound and 0.7 assists per game. The junior guard from Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania was a consistent spark for SRU's offense, scoring in 15 games including an 11-point showing against Clarion.
 
Moye is the first Rock women's basketball player to win multiple CSC academic awards in their career since Lori Robinson was named a CoSIDA Academic All-American in 1996 and 1998. Moye once again cleared the academic requirements for the honor by a wide margin, posting a 3.96 GPA through 99 credit hours as a public health major.
 
Slippery Rock concluded its 2024-25 campaign Feb. 26, missing the PSAC Tournament by just one spot in the standings. Head coach Ryenn Micaletti and the crew will next look to the offseason and prepare for the 2025-26 season, as several of this year's key players are set to return.
