Sellers, Ott Recognized by Horizon League
2/28/2022 1:00:00 PM | Women's Basketball
Sellers, a junior from Aurora, Ohio, is the first Mastodon to be named to an All-League team since 2014-15. This season, Sellers averaged 10.6 points and 4.9 rebounds per game while shooting 40.2 percent from the floor, 36.7 percent from 3-point range and 88.6 percent from the charity stripe. She scored in double-figures in nine Horizon League games, which included a career-high 25 points at UIC.
Ott was one of just three freshmen in the Horizon League to be named Freshman of the Week more than once. She opened her career with back-to-back honors, which came on the heels of a double-double effort against UIC. On the year, Ott averaged 8.4 points and 3.5 rebounds per game while shooting 39.8 percent from the floor, 31.3 percent from beyond the arc and 80.0 percent from the free throw line. Ott is the first Mastodon to be named to an All-Freshman/Newcomer team since her sister Riley was named to the Summit League All-Newcomer Team in 2019-20.
Sellers and Ott led the Mastodons to a regular season 9-20 record, including a 7-14 Horizon League record for ninth place in the league standings. The 'Dons' seven league wins were the most for the program since the 2013-14 season.
The Mastodons open up the Keeps Horizon League Championship on Tuesday, March 1. Purdue Fort Wayne will play at Robert Morris in the opening round at 7 p.m.
