Duquesne’s April Robinson named to Liberman Award List (Includes first-hand account)

April Robinson, point guard for the Dukes is currently ranked first in the Atlantic 10 with a 2.35 assist-to-turnover ratio. Robinson is also ranked third in the A-10 in assists with 108 and with her 4.9 points per game average she is currently ranked 47th in the NCAA.

The list will be narrowed to 15 and then finally to five by mid-March. The award is presented annually to the point top guard in women’s NCAA Division 1, and will be presented at the WBCA Award show in Tampa, Florida in May.
“Our Women’s Basketball program is very proud of April being nominated to the Liberman Award List,” said head coach Dan Burt. It’s a rare honor to be considered one of the best at your position in college basketball,” he added.

“She is having an outstanding year…not only having an outstanding year from a statistical standpoint, but she’s become a leader. She communicates effectively to her teammates and to the coaching staff. She leads by example, vocally, on the floor, in the classroom and off. You could not ask for a better point guard, and I’m so thankful we have her for another year,” Burt said after Saturday’s 83-47 win over Virginia Commonwealth University. Robinson ended Saturday’s game in double figures with 13 points and three assists.

Robinson was recently named the MVP of the Ball State Federal Credit Union Thanksgiving Classic on November 30, where she ended up with a 52 percent shooting average, with 33 points. Robinson also scored a career-high 28 points at Lehigh on December 28.

The 5-8 guard from Springfield, Va., majoring in management has made the Dean’s List, Director of Athletics” Honor Roll as well as the Atlantic 10 Commissioner’s Honor Roll.
