Posted: Feb 28, 2022

WINTHROP, Mass. - After recording six double-doubles and averaging 15.8 points and 7.9 rebounds per game during the 2021-22 season, senior Meg Carroll of the Lasell University women's basketball team was named to the GNAC All-Conference second team Monday.

Carroll led the 2021-22 Lasers in points and blocks per game (1.3) and ranked sixth in both categories in the GNAC. She also recorded the fifth-best field-goal percentage (47.1) in the conference, shooting 153 for 325 from the field. The 153 made field goals are the fourth most in a single season in program history. The 87 offensive boards during her senior year are the third best in the team's record book.

Carroll was named GNAC Player of the Week on Dec. 6 and Jan. 24. She was also recognized as Division III National Player of the Week by the United States Basketball Writers Association (USBWA) on Dec. 7.

In a 76-59 triumph over Northern Vermont University-Johnson, the Douglas, Massachusetts, native set a program record with 39 points and pulled down a personal-best 20 rebounds, including 11 on the offensive glass. The 20 boards are the fourth most in a single game in the program's record book. Carroll shot 15 of 24 from the field during the game. The 15 made field goals are tied for the most in a single game in school history.

During the 2021-22 season, the 5-foot-11 forward reached double figures in points 18 times, including scoring 21 or more on six occasions. Carroll tallied four blocks at Saint Joseph (Conn.) on Jan. 24 and at Elms on Feb. 3, as the single-game total is tied for the 10th most on the squad's record list. Her 29 blocks during the 2021-22 season are the ninth most on the record sheet.

She finished with 28 points and 15 boards during a 72-67 win at Rivier on Dec. 2, and then compiled 24 points and 14 boards in an 85-70 triumph over the visiting Raiders on Jan. 22. She took charge in the overtime, finishing with 10 points on 2-of-4 shooting from the field and a 6-for-6 performance from the free-throw line.
