ATLANTA- Michelle Kozicki (Wilmington, Del./Padua) added another honor to her growing trophy case on Thursday evening as she was named a Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) Division II Honorable Mention All-American.
Kozicki is the latest Golden Ram to earn this award and this is the third year in a row that the Golden Rams have had a player earn WBCA Honorable Mention All-American honors as
Leah Johnson was named an Honorable Mention All-American in both 2022-23 and 2023-24.
Kozicki, a Division II Conference Commissioners Association All-Region selection was also a First Team All-PSAC East pick earlier this winter as she earned All-League honors for the third time in as many years after being named to the Second Team in both 2022-23 and 2023-24. The senior forward was also named the PSAC East Defensive Player of the Year at the end of her first season with the Golden Rams in 2022-23.
Kozicki, turned in another outstanding season in 2024-25, ending the regular season averaging 20.8 points and 10.6 rebounds per game with 18 double-doubles to her name, including three in the last four games of the regular season.
The senior forward ended the regular season second in the PSAC in scoring and within the top five in the league in rebounding, scoring 581 points in the regular season, which ranked second in single-season team history entering the PSAC Tournament. Kozicki opened the PSAC Tournament with a 23-point effort in a win over Millersville in the First Round on Monday night and, in doing so, became the first Golden Ram to eclipse 600 points in a single season since Mitzi Reitnouer did so in 1981-82 when she scored 698 points in 29 games. With this number in mind, it is unsurprising that Kozicki has scored in double figures in every game this season, including a pair of 35-point games and 18 games with 20 points or more. Kozicki is one of three Golden Rams in team history to score 35 points or more in a single game twice in the same season, joining Reitnouer, who did so three times in 1981-82 and Johnson who did so twice in 2022-23, including her single-game record 44 in the NCAA Tournament vs California (Pa.) in 2023.
Thanks in part to her 312 rebounds this season, Kozicki is third in the NCAA and second in the PSAC in double-doubles, while her 808 career rebounds is the fourth most in team history and the most since Alexandra Lennon secured 734 from 2009-13. Kozicki also averages 1.7 assists per game and has logged 56 steals and 32 blocks on the season.
