BETHLEHEM, Pa. – The Boston University women's basketball program placed four student-athletes on All-Patriot League Teams for the 2021-22 season, the league announced on Friday morning.
 
Junior Sydney Johnson paced the Terriers with a spot on the All-Patriot League First Team. Classmate Maren Durant and sophomore Caitlin Weimar were selected to the Third Team, while Durant added All-Defensive Team recognition. Freshman Alex Giannaros capped off her first collegiate regular season with an All-Rookie Team honor.
 
BU led the Patriot League with four different student-athletes capturing accolades. The Terriers were one of two schools, Bucknell being the other, to have representation on four different teams.
