Junior forward Allison Feaster of Chester, S.C., who led the Harvard women's basketball team to the Ivy championship and a second straight NCAA Tournament berth, was named Ivy League Player of the Year.

Feaster was among five Harvard basketball players honored as the League announced its men's and women's all-star teams on March 6. For the women, Feaster and senior guard Jessica Gelman of Westport, Conn., were First Team selections, and senior forward Kelly Black of Atlanta, Ga., earned Second Team honors. For the men, senior forward Kyle Snowden was a First Team All-League choice and sophomore point guard Tim Hill of Ijamsville, Md., netted Second Team recognition.

This marks the second straight year Feaster has been Ivy Player of the Year and is her third straight First Team All-Ivy selection. She was the League's Rookie of the Year in 1994-95. Feaster averaged 21.8 ppg and a League-leading 10.9 rpg this season, and was among the League leaders in field goal percentage, steals, three-point field goal percentage, and blocks. Her play helped the Crimson to a 20-6 overall mark and a perfect 14-0 Ivy record, marking the first time in League history that a school has gone through the double round-robin schedule undefeated.

Gelman topped the League in assists (5.7 apg) and free throw percentage (.792) and was among the League leaders in scoring, field goal percentage, and steals. Black ranked third on the team in scoring (9.7 ppg) and second in rebounding (5.1 rpg).

Snowden, who helped Harvard's men to their best record in 51 years (17-9, 10-4 Ivy), led the League in rebounding (9.7 rpg) and finished fourth in scoring (16.4 ppg). He was also in the top 10 in field goal percentage and free throw shooting. Snowden is graduating as Harvard's all-time rebounding leader (908 rebounds). Hill, the 1995-96 Ivy Rookie of the Year, was the Crimson's second leading scorer at 12.8 ppg. He led the Ivy's in free throw shooting (.865) and was second in assists (5.7 per game).
