Galloway, N.J. – Stockton University players collected two all-conference accolades as the New Jersey Athletic Conference announced its 2024-25 season honors for women's basketball. Junior
Grace Speer (Estell Manor/ACIT) was voted NJAC Second Team and
Imene Fathi (Wildwood/Wildwood) was selected NJAC Honorable Mention.
Speer earned her second consecutive all-conference nod after an NJAC Honorable Mention selection a year ago. Fathi received all-conference recognition for the first time in her career.
Speer had another excellent season, playing in 22 games overall and leading the Ospreys in scoring at 13.1 points per game and rebounds at 7.1 boards per game, ranking seventh and sixth in the league respectively. The forward also sits second in the NJAC in blocked shots (1.7 bpg) plus third in free throw percentage (.771) and offensive rebounds (3.4/game).
In 18 games against NJAC foes, Speer was second in the league in blocked shots (2.1 bpg), third in free throw percentage (.827) and fifth in scoring (13.5 ppg) and rebounding (7.5 rpg). She posted five double-doubles and finished off the year in style, netting a career-high 34 points against Rowan in the season finale.
Fathi, who played in all 25 games and made a team-high 20 starts, was the catalyst of the offense. The point guard led the team and ranks third in the conference with 4.1 assists per game. Fathi is tied for second in the conference in assist-turnover ratio at 1.3 and sits fifth in minutes played (31.8 mpg) as well.
Fathi led the Ospreys in steals (1.7 spg) and averaged 9.1 points and 4.9 rebounds per game. The junior sank 22 three-pointers and shot 71.7% at the free throw line. Fathi posted her first career double-double in the season opener against Brooklyn when she scored 13 points and grabbed a career-high 10 rebounds.
The young Osprey team with just two seniors ended the season with 11 wins, seven of which came in NJAC play.
