BRIDGEPORT, W.Va. – On Monday afternoon, Notre Dame College sophomore Noel Weathers was recognized by the Mountain East Conference as a Second Team All-MEC performer following a spectacular 2023-24 season. (Release)
 
Weathers powered Notre Dame's strong finish to the season, which saw the Falcons play above .500 (winning percentage) basketball since January. NDC has punched their 11^th consecutive ticket to the postseason, as the Falcons have made the MEC Tournament every year since joining the league in 2013-14.
 
The forward led Notre Dame College and the Mountain East Conference all season long in rebounds (9.1) and blocks (2.3), including ranking 12^th in the entire country in blocks per game. Furthermore, the Cincinnati, Ohio native fueled the Falcon offense as the leading scorer at 12.8 points per game, seated 15^th in the MEC. The Mt. Healthy High School product also boasts a team-high nine double-doubles (2^nd MEC), including each of her last two games.
 
Back on Feb. 21, Weathers broke a 27 year-old record with her 58^th block of the season (now at 65), surpassing All-American Joni DePiore from 1995-96. The forward has also corralled 256 rebounds on the year, seventh-most in NDC single season history.
 
Most recently, the sophomore tallied a career-high 28 points (12-16 FG) and career-best 16 rebounds in the 69-68 win over West Liberty on Feb. 28. In addition, Weather rejected six shots in back-to-back games against Tiffin and at Lake Erie on Dec. 30 and Jan. 6, tied for the second-most in a game in program history.
 
Next, Weathers and Notre Dame College will look to stay hot in the MEC Tournament, following a pair of wins this past week. In Wheeling, WV at Wesbanco Arena, NDC the No. 10 seed will square up against No. 7 Glenville State in the First Round on Wednesday Mar. 4 at noon.
