Elon Women's Basketball Trio Earns All-CAA Honors Before Tournament

Three Elon University women's basketball players earned Coastal Athletic Association postseason recognition on March 11, when the CAA released its annual awards for the sport. Sophomore forward LaNae' Corbett, freshman guard Ashanti Fox, and freshman forward/center Tamia Watkins all received honors from the conference ahead of the CAA Tournament.

Corbett, who hails from Upper Marlboro, Md., was explicitly named to the All-CAA Third Team. The second-year forward's inclusion on the postseason squad marks a confirmed individual milestone for Elon's frontcourt this season.

Fox and Watkins were both cited in the CAA's postseason recognition, though the precise designation for the two freshmen was not fully available in initial reports. Fox, a guard from Vass, N.C., and Watkins, a forward/center from Kershaw, S.C., appear among a group of first-year players listed across the conference's postseason tables, suggesting a freshman-focused honor. The CAA's postseason awards typically include an All-Rookie or All-Freshman team alongside its traditional All-CAA squads, but the exact award title for Fox and Watkins should be confirmed through Elon athletics or the official CAA release.

All three honorees are among a broader class of recognized CAA players drawn from programs including UNCW, Hampton, N.C. A&T, Charleston, Campbell, Towson, Monmouth, Drexel, Stony Brook, and William and Mary. The conference-wide recognition comes as those programs prepare to compete in the CAA Tournament, where Elon will look to extend its season with three players freshly validated by their conference peers.
