Wolff, Boehm earns postseason basketball honors

Jamie Wolff

Williamsville resident Jamie Wolff and Cheektowaga resident and Sacred Heart Academy graduate Allison Boehm were each named to the D3Hoops.com All-Region second team.

Wolff led the St. Lawrence women's basketball team to their first Liberty League tournament title this season and their second consecutive NCAA Tournament berth.

Wolff scored 470 points, averaging 16.2 points per game, in her senior year, the highest of anyone in the Liberty League. She also reached the 1,000-point milestone in her first conference game in 2007-08.

A starter in all but three games throughout her entire four years at St. Lawrence, Wolff, a guard, was a three-time conference first team selection and was named to the Liberty League All-Academic Team each of the three years she was eligible.

In her final year as a Saint, Wolff was named MVP of the Stevens Tip-Off Tournament and the Norwich Tournament after leading the Scarlet and Brown to both titles. She was a seven-time "Guard of the Week" pick in the conference.

A math major, Wolff is on the Dean's List at St. Lawrence and will graduate in May.

The Saints' season ended when they fell to nationally ranked Messiah College in the second round of the 2008 NCAA Division III Women's Basketball Tournament.

Boehm, an Empire 8 First Team selection and four-time Conference Player of the Week, led the Conference and ranked 32nd nationally in scoring with 18.7 points per game.

She also ranked in the top 10 in the Empire 8 in rebounding (9.0); assists (3.5); steals (1.8); blocked shot (0.9) and three-point shooting percentage (38 percent).

Boehm started her final 80 games and led the Cardinals in either scoring or rebounding in 23 of the 27 contests and finished her career ranked 14th on the college's all-time scoring list with 1,087 points.

An Academic All-American, Boehm also ranks fourth in career three-pointers (137), while ranking among the single-season leaders in three-point field goals (fourth, 54), scoring average (seventh, 18.7), total points (eighth, 505) and free throws (eighth, 117).

"Allison really had a great year for us," said Fisher coach Phil Kahler, who recently finished his 33rd season, while raising his NCAA win-total to 760 - the most by any coach in Division III. "It has been pleasure coaching Allison over the last four years and it's great to see her receive the accolades she clearly deserves."
