First-year from Spain earns her first Rookie of the Week selection
PRINCETON, N.J. – Columbia first-year María Arrebola has been named Ivy League Women's Basketball Rookie of the Week for games played March 3-9. The league office announced its weekly honors Monday afternoon.
Arrebola scored a career-high 12 points as part of Saturday's, 91-58, victory over Cornell. She shot a season-best 5-of-6 from the field and was a perfect 2-for-2 from 3-point range. A native of Almería, Spain, Arrebola also added two rebounds and two assists.
Saturday's win earned Columbia its first outright Ivy League Regular Season Championship. The Lions went 22-5 overall with a 13-1 Ivy League mark, finishing one game ahead of Princeton and two games ahead of Harvard in the league standings. Columbia's 13 Ivy wins tied for the most in program history.
Top-seeded Columbia will face fourth-seeded Penn (15-12, 6-8 Ivy) on Friday in the semifinals of the 2025 Ivy League Tournament, presented by TIAA. This year's tournament is being hosted by Brown at the Pizzitola Sports Center in Providence, Rhode Island. Friday's semifinal matchup is scheduled for 4:30 p.m. ET. The game can be seen live on ESPN+.
The winner of each semifinal will advance to the Ivy League Tournament Championship, which will take place Saturday, March 15, at 5:30 p.m. ET. The championship game will be televised nationally on ESPNU.
