NEW YORK – With the NCAA women's basketball season now complete, City College of New York freshman Reilly Boehm (Orlando, FL) has officially been crowned the 2019-20 NCAA scoring champion.  Her average of 26.8 points per game, the best ever for a Division III rookie, was the highest in the NCAA across all three divisions.

The previous freshman record for scoring average was 26.0 points per game by Merchant Marine's Rebecca Sergent in 2000-01.  Boehm scored a single-season program-record 642 total points this season, the third-most by a freshman in Division III history.  Jeannie Demers of Buena Vista (the all-time leading scorer in Division III) set the rookie record with 645 points in the 1983-84 season.

Boehm's total points were the second-most in the NCAA.  Her 3.88 three-pointers per game, meanwhile, were second-most in the NCAA and third on the all-time freshman list.  She also ranked third nationally in three-point field goals (93) and ninth in free throws made (141).

On Jan. 26 at Lasell, Boehm established this season's NCAA single-game highs with 49 points and 12 three-pointers.  That was one of nine 30-point efforts she recorded on the year.  Boehm also had a 41-point performance against Potsdam on Dec. 14 and posted two double-doubles.

She becomes just the fourth CCNY player ever to lead the nation in a statistical category, and the first to do so in something other than steals.  Anika Rivera was the last Beaver to finish as a national leader after averaging 5.83 steals per game during the 2007-08 season.  Thais Palmer (1993-94) and Enma Rivera (1995-96) were CCNY's other NCAA single-season steals champions.

A five-time CUNY Athletic Conference (CUNYAC) Rookie of the Week, Boehm was named the conference's Rookie of the Year.  She was also selected as the D3hoops.com Atlantic Region Co-Rookie of the Year, sharing that award with Montclair State's Nickie Carter.
