RICHMOND, Va. – Monmouth University Women's Basketball seniors Damaris Rodriguez and Taisha Exanor have earned Coastal Athletic Association (CAA) postseason honors, the conference announced Tuesday afternoon.

Rodriguez became the first Monmouth Women's Basketball Hawk to be named to an All-CAA First Team, and the first to be named to any All-Conference First Team since Jennifer Bender in 2008-09 (MAAC), while Exanor made the All-CAA Second Team.
 
Rodriguez shined in her first and only collegiate season in Division I, starting all 29 games and leading the Hawks and finishing seventh in the conference with 14.6 points per game, while shooting 41.6% from the floor. The point guard finished in double figures in 23 games, including a stretch of nine straight games from Dec. 21 to Jan. 31, and scored at least 20 points in five. In a season that featured her scoring her 2,000^th career collegiate point, she also finished inside the top 10 of the CAA for assists per game with 3.5. At UNCW on Jan. 19, the New Jersey native broke the Monmouth single-game assist record with 13 helpers – the most by any CAA player in a contest this season.
 
Exanor was a force on both sides of the ball in her 29 starts averaging 13.3 points game (10^th in CAA) and 9.2 rebounds per game (third in CAA). The Canadian led Monmouth with nine double-doubles, including a huge outing with a career-high 29 points and 15 rebounds versus Towson on March 6. Her 7.1 defensive rebounds per contest ranked second in the conference and 25^th in the nation. Her 28 blocks helped the Hawks finish first in the CAA in blocks per game and 18^th in the country as. A team.
 
Rodriguez, Exanor and the fifth-seeded Hawks begin their 2025 CAA Women's Basketball Championship run as they take on the winner of No.12 Stony Brook/No. 13 Hampton on Thursday, March 13. The game will be broadcast live on FloCollege at 2:30 p.m.
