Raptors' Edmundo earns NJAC First Team recognition
CAMDEN, N.J. (Feb. 25, 2026) – It's been an amazing season for Rutgers University-Camden forward
Courtney Edmundo, and the Scarlet Raptors' sophomore isn't finished adding to her accomplishments.
Edmundo was named to the New Jersey Athletic Conference Women's Basketball First Team when the NJAC announced its season honors today. She becomes the Raptors' first NJAC First Team player since Kamari Talley, who earned that honor and was named the NJAC Player of the Year during the 2015-16 season.
Edmundo's all-around play has sparked the Scarlet Raptors to a 14-12 record and a berth in their first NJAC playoff semifinal game since Rutgers-Camden won its lone conference championship during the 2002-03 season. The Scarlet Raptors will play a 6 p.m. semifinal game at The College of New Jersey on Thursday night.
