Three Vikings Bring in All-SAA Honors

| By:

MOUNT BERRY, Ga. - Three Vikings proved themselves to be the best of the best in the SAA, as Briaiah Lewis, Elly Callihan, and Lauren Ellard all earned spots on the SAA's all-conference squads. 

Briaiah Lewis earns her way to All-SAA Second Team after averaging 12 points, a team-leading 3 assists, and 5 rebounds per game in conference play to pace the Viking offense. She was also stellar on the defensive end for the Vikings, with 41 steals and 11 blocks on the season. The Atlanta, Georgia, native scored in double-figures 14 times for the Vikings this season. Lewis's best performance was against Rhodes on February 1, where she tallied 19 points, 8 rebounds, and 4 assists.  This is Briaiah's second All-Conference nod after winning SAA Rookie of the Year and Honorable Mention in 2024-2025. 

Elly Callihan completed her career sweep of All-SAA honors with a Second Team nod to close out the regular season. Elly led the Vikings this season with 12 points per game, nearly 7 rebounds, and a team-leading 2 steals per game. The Ellijay, Georgia, native's best game was against Brevard where she netted 20 points and grabbed 15 rebounds to push the Vikings to an overtime victory. Callihan was ultra-consistent, with 18 games scoring in double figures on the season as a three-level threat. 

Lauren Ellard came on strong for the Vikings with an SAA Honorable Mention as a primary attacker from the wing. Ellard averaged 7 points, 4 rebounds, and produced at a high-level on defense with 27 steals and 12 blocks. The Oxford, Alabama, native's best game was a lights-out performance against Oglethorpe, where she dropped 20 points (6-7 FG) and grabbed four rebounds, leading Berry to a huge win over Oglethorpe on January 23. Lauren's steady production will be a key factor in Berry's postseason success. Lauren also earned SAA All-Sportsmanship Team for her zeal and spirit as a teammate and competitor. 

Catch Briaiah, Elly, and Lauren, all in action at the SAA Tournament, as the Vikings take on Oglethorpe in the first round of the SAA Tournament at the Cage Arena at 12 PM!
