Leanna Tallamy begins her second season as a graduate assistant with the Wilkes women’s basketball team.
Tallamy comes to Wilkes following an outstanding playing career at Muhlenberg College graduating last year in 2015. A unanimous All-Centennial Conference first-team selection, the Lehigh Valley small college player of the year and a D3hoops.com all-region pick, Tallamy averaged team bests of 18.6 points and 11.1 rebounds for the CC-champion Mules as a senior in 2014-15.
A model of consistency, she scored in double figures in every game but two (including the last 24 of the season) and rebounded in double figures 20 times. Her 20 double-doubles were tied for the fourth-most in Division III. Tallamy also became the fourth player in Muhlenberg program history to earn All-America honors for her efforts.
Tallamy also led the CC in rebounding by a wide margin and was second in scoring, fourth in field-goal percentage and seventh in free-throw percentage. She was Muhlenberg's leading scorer in 18 of the final 19 games of the season.
She broke school records for field goals (191), free throws (156) and rebounds (322) in a season. Her 538 points were just eight shy of the school record. She also was one of only six players in Division III to score at least 500 points without making a three-pointer, ranking in the top 50 in Division III in both scoring (37th) and rebounding (43rd).
