YSU players Schlegel & Benjamin earn Horizon League honors

Youngstown State senior Heidi Schlegel was named First-Team All-Horizon League, and Indiya Benjamin was named to the all-freshman team as the conference announced its postseason honors on Monday.

Schlegel is a first-team all-league honoree for the second consecutive season, and she is just the fifth player in school history to be named first-team all-conference twice in a career. She joins Danielle Carson, Dorothy Bowers, Liz Hauger and Brianne Kenneally in the select group, and each of the previous four are now in YSU's Athletics Hall of Fame.

Benjamin is the second Penguin in as many seasons to be named to the Horizon League All-Freshman team, following Jenna Hirsch. Six YSU players were All-Newcomer Team selections prior to the all-freshman team's inception in 2013-14.
