TOWSON, Md. -The Landmark Conference selects 22 senior scholar-athletes each year to recognize the top student-athlete in each sport based on academics and athletics.
The honorees must have a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.20 and are selected by a committee of Landmark Conference officers, athletics directors, senior woman administrators, faculty athletic representatives, and sports information directors.
Joey Meyers of Drew University is the second ranger to be honored as the conference Women's Basketball Senior Scholar-Athlete. She joins former teammate Erin Frederick who was selected in 2021-22. Meyers is also the third winter student-athlete from Drew to be selected as a Senior Scholar, joining Harrison Neal (men's swimming) and Katie Cashin (women's swimming).
Meyers, who gained First-Team honors this past season, becomes just the third Ranger to earn three All-Landmark Conference awards. A First-Team selection in 2021-22 and a Second-Team pick in 2020-21, Meyers is just one of two players in team history to capture First-Team All-Landmark Conference twice.
Meyers turned in another outstanding season this past year for the Rangers and scored a career-high 18.9 points per game. A tremendous all-around performer, she also led the team in rebounding (8.4) and was second in assists (3.2 apg), steals (2.3 spg), and free-throw percentage (77.8%). Among the Landmark Conference leaders, she ranked second in scoring, third in rebounding, third in steals, fourth in field-goal percentage (45.4%), fifth in free-throw percentage, and fifth in assists.
Over 86 games for her career – which included just nine contests during her sophomore campaign – Meyers posted impressive totals of 1,363 points, 691 rebounds, 239 assists, and 189 steals. She leaves the program ranked sixth (tied) in points, seventh in rebounds, and eighth (tied) in steals.
Meyers helped lead the Rangers to another winning season in 2022-23, as the team finished 17-8 and 7-7 in the Landmark Conference. The team's 17 victories were the second-most in team history, just one behind the 2019-20 squad's 18-10 season.
In the classroom, Meyers is a business major and an environmental studies & sustainability minor with a 3.71 grade point average who has been named to the Dean's List and the Landmark Conference Academic Honor Roll. She was also named to the College Sports Communicators (CSC) Academic All-District Team for the third time in her career in 2023.
She is a member of DEAL, or the Drew Environmental Action League, and volunteers with Conversation to Remember, a non-profit that connects high school and college students with residents in assisted living communities to combat the epidemic of loneliness.
Additionally, Meyers is a black belt in Isshinryu karate and gives basketball lessons to children from kindergarten through eighth grade.
