BRIDGEWATER, Mass. -- Bridgewater State University women's basketball forward Kylie Grassi (Plymouth, Mass.) has once again received a top Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletic Conference honor.

Grassi was chosen the 2023-24 MASCAC co-player of the year, sharing the award with Framingham State University senior guard Gwendolyn Carpenter.

Grassi was the sole recipient of the honor during the 2022-23 season when she became BSU's first player of the year since Colleen Feeney in the 2007-08 season.

For the second year in a row, Grassi made the All-MASCAC first team after earning a spot on the second team as a freshman in the 2021-22 season.

Teammate Sydney Bradbury (East Bridgewater, Mass.), a graduate student and guard, was chosen for the first time to the All-MASCAC team, being named to the second team.

The Bears (15-12) finished second in the MASCAC during the regular season with a 10-2 record. After defeating Westfield State University in the conference tournament semifinal round, BSU lost to Framingham State, 74-62, in the title game.

Grassi is the leading scorer in the MASCAC, averaging 20.6 points per game, three points a game ahead of second-place Katie Hurynowicz of Worcester State University.

She started 26 games this season, averaging 36 minutes, and shot 44 percent from the field and 75 percent from the foul line.

Grassi had 2.3 steals per game to rank seventh in the MASCAC and grabbed 4.2 rebounds per game.

On a national level, Grassi is 16th in all of Division III in scoring and tied for eighth in made free throws (141).

Grassi will enter the 2024-25 season needing 164 points to become BSU's all-time leading scorer.

She is currently tied for fifth with Megan Boutilette (2010-15) with 1,202 points. The record was set a decade ago by BSU Athletics Hall of Famer Jenna Williamson, who had 1,365 points.

Grassi has started 65 of the 75 games she has played in three seasons, averaging 30.4 minutes per game. She is shooting 44 percent for her career and averages 4.2 rebounds and two steals.

The 20.6 scoring average this season is a BSU record, breaking the mark of 20.3 set by Feeney in the 2007-08 season. She also joined Feeney as one of only two Bears to score 500 points (535) in a season. Grassi, who averaged 17.1 points a season ago, owns two of the top five singe-season scoring marks in program history.

The 182 made field goals this season ranks Grassi fourth on the school's all-time list and the 416 field goal attempts is second to Samantha Curry (509 in the 2005-06 season).

Grassi joined the Bears' 1,000-point club when she hit a 3-pointer in the first quarter of a Jan. 10 win over the Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts.

Bradbury averaged a career-high 14.3 points this season to rank 10th in the MASCAC. She is also fourth in the conference in 3-point field goal percentage (35.8).

Bradbury started 24 games in her final season, playing 29.8 minutes a game. She made a career-best 86.5 percent from the foul line and shot 36 percent from 3-point range.

The East Bridgewater High graduate set the school record with 83 made 3-pointers this season, breaking the mark set in the 2019-20 season by Hannah Dziadyk with 75. Bradbury presently leads all of Division III this season in three-point field goals per game (3.46).

Bradbury established a new record for 3-point attempts in a season (232), breaking her own mark of 196 from a year ago, and owns the BSU career record for 3-point attempts (591) breaking the previous mark of 577 set by Corey Cuddihy from 2007-11.

With 205 made 3-pointers, Bradbury is second to only Williamson, who had 210 from 2010-14. She is tied for second with eight 3-pointers made in a game (against Westfield State on Feb. 14) and ranks fifth in career 3-point shooting percentage (34.7).

Bradbury ranks third at BSU in career free throw percentage (77.0) by making 127 of 165 in her four seasons.

Bradbury reached the 1,000-point mark during her final regular-season home game on Senior Day. She hit a 3-pointer in the first quarter against Fitchburg State to achieve the milestone.

In 98 career games with 78 starts, Bradbury averaged 11 points and 3.7 rebounds.

Bradbury sat out the early part of her freshman year while recovering from a torn anterior cruciate ligament. COVID forced the cancellation of her second season and Bradbury suffered a torn meniscus in the 2022-23 season that slowed her down.
