Two Mount Mercy Basketball Players Earn Post-Season Honors

 

                For the second straight year, Mount Mercy basketball players Hannah Fredo (Buffalo) and Emily Kessler (West Seneca) earned All-Catholic Honors.

                Fredo, a senior, returned to the First Team All-Catholic for the second straight year.  She was one of the team’s top two scorers and rebounders, averaging 10 points and grabbing 10 rebounds per game.  Fredo also led the team in blocked shots.  She finished her four-year varsity career with almost 800 points and had over 500 rebounds.

                Kessler, also a senior, moved up from Honorable Mention All-Catholic to the First team.  Along with Fredo she was the other top scorer and rebounder, averaging ten points and ten boards each contest.  She concluded her three-year varsity career with over 500 points and 500 rebounds.

                “It is a well-deserved honor for both of the seniors,” Coach John Glose remarked.  “Hannah and Emily are high character young ladies who are a pleasure to coach and be around.  They have been great role models for their teammates, especially the underclassmen.  I have no doubt that they will be successful in all they attempt in the future.”

"Mount Mercy has positively changed my life forever. Through the inviting community, I was able to grow as a woman, as a daughter, as a friend, and as a member of society. Throughout my time here I have gained an education in both academic areas and life in general through the school's ongoing efforts to educate students on gender inequality, racial injustice, and environmental crisis'. Furthermore, Mercy has given me the space to gain confidence that 4 years ago I never would have guessed I would have. Mount Mercy has helped me take that initial step toward becoming the strong woman of color I am today. At Mercy you are more than just a student, you are whoever you wish to be."

"My future, success, and the ability to be an empowered woman in society come from Mount Mercy. My school is a strong foundation for my role in life. From attending Mount Mercy, I can say with confidence, that I will graduate with the mindset that I can accomplish anything. Mercy is my home and my sanctuary to be whoever I want. Mount Mercy has been bringing forth generations of strong intellectual women into the world, and I am more than honored to be one of them. Mercy teaches girls more than academics, but also about the world around us. As a mercy community, we give back to the world because it is our home. From my four years at Mercy, I have been educated on pushing for equality and peace and the understanding that there is no limit to what I can do. I have the confidence to go out in the world and make a difference because being a Mercy girl has given me that opportunity. "

"Mercy is more than just a school. Mercy is my second home and a shoulder to lean on. Mount Mercy has given me the confidence and resources to pursue my passions and make the world a more inclusive place, propelling me to take strides into male-dominated fields. Mercy blessed me with an environment to grow intellectually and in the community, giving me the foundation to make a tangible impact while making lifelong friendships."
