Erica Prosser is well-remembered in Lehigh  Women's basketball history for her outstanding contributions as a student-athlete. Arriving on the scene with an immediate impact, she claimed her spot on the Patriot League All-Rookie Team in 2007-08. From there, her trajectory was nothing short of phenomenal. With a streak of All Patriot League First Team honors from 2009 to 2011, Prosser's dominance on the court was clear. As a sophomore, Prosser was named Patriot League Player of the Year, an honor she reclaimed in her senior year along with the Defensive Player of the Year, cementing her dual-threat legacy. Not only was she a force on the court, but she also excelled academically, earning a spot on the Academic All-Patriot League team. Beyond individual accolades, Prosser was instrumental in team success, with her leadership contributing to back-to-back Patriot League Championships in 2009 and 2010. Prosser's career includes seven Patriot League Weekly Awards and Patriot League All-Tournament Team selections from 2009 through 2011. Recognized for her career-long excellence, she was deservedly named to the Patriot League 25th Anniversary Team.
