With all precincts reporting, two members of the Muhlenberg women's basketball team won Division III statistical championships in 2016.

Sophomore
Brandi Vallely (pictured above right) was the presumptive champion in assists per game from early on in the season. She finished with 263 assists, the seventh-highest total in Division III history, and her average of 9.4 assists per game won in a landslide - the player in second place averaged 7.9. Vallely's average was second among all three NCAA divisions.
Sophomore
Rachel Plotke (pictured above left) led the country in three-point shooting percentage in a race that was "too close to call." In the NCAA stats published on March 19 - two weeks after both teams' seasons had ended - Plotke (.486) was second to a player from Cazenovia (.495). But Cazenovia's stats were incomplete, and in the official final stats, Plotke came out ahead, .486 to .482.

? Plotke's winning percentage was remarkable for the high number of three-pointers she made (87). The second-highest percentage in Division III among players with that many makes was .379.
Muhlenberg was the only Division III school to have more than one player win a statistical title in 2016. The Mules had only one individual statistical champion in their history prior to this year - Amanda Waterbury, who led Division III in free-throw percentage in 1999.
Not surprisingly, the backcourt mates, classmates and
first-team All-Centennial Conference mates contributed greatly to each other's titles. Plotke was the player Vallely assisted the most, and by a large margin, most of Plotke's three-pointers were assisted by Vallely.
