SPARTANBURG, S.C. (March 5, 2024) – The Southern Conference announced its 2023-24 women's basketball postseason awards and All-Conference teams on Tuesday afternoon. ETSU's Nevaeh Brown was recognized for her play this season by landing a spot on the All-SoCon First Team by both the league head coaches and the SoCon Sports Media Association (SCSMA).
 
Brown, who was a Preseason All-SoCon selection, is one of two players to play in and start all 29 of the team's games (Breanne Beatty) this season. She also paces the Bucs in point scored (398), field goals made (149), free throws made (67), assists (72) and minutes played (950). At the conclusion the regular season, Brown ranks fifth in the conference scoring average (13.7 PPG), minutes played and is tied for ninth in assists.
 
It marks the second consecutive season that the Bucs have had a player land on the All-SoCon First Team as former Buc Jiselle Thomas earned the same honor in 2022-23.
