PITTSFORD, N.Y. – The U.S. Basketball Writers Association (USBWA) Rochester Chapter has named St. John Fisher senior guard Sidney Tomasso the Rochester Area Women's Player of the Year for the second straight year. 

Along with Tomasso, Katie Moravec was named to the USBWA Rochester Area NCAA Division II-III First Team.

Tomasso's latest accolades add to an already remarkable year, as she already had been named an honorable mention All-American by the Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA), a first-team All-Region 3 performer by D3hoops.com and a 2024-25 Division III Women's Collegiate All-Star by the WBCA. She also secured her second consecutive Empire 8 Player of the Year award in February, solidifying her legacy as one of the top players in program history.

Tomasso led the Empire 8 in scoring (19.2 points per game) and finished second in rebounding (9.3 rebounds per game), free-throw percentage (86.5%) and 3-point shooting percentage (35.3%) this past season. Nationally, she ranked 22nd in free-throw percentage, 24th in points per game and 40th in rebounds when Fisher's season ended.

A three-time first-team All-Empire 8 selection, the Waverly, New York, native also led the Empire 8 and finished 32nd in Division III with 12 double-doubles. 

Moravec, a first-time All-E8 first-team selection last month, finished at or near the top of the team in numerous statistical categories. She led Fisher in assists (112) and steals (50) and ranked second in scoring (16.6 points per game) and rebounding (5.8 rebounds per game). 

Moravec tallied four or more assists in 17 of the Cardinals' 25 games, including a career-high eight twice. She recorded four or more steals in five contests.
