A 5-11 senior guard from Parkland, FL, Hsu --- who also was named the Ivy League player of the year, a WBCA All-America Honorable Mention for the second consecutive season and an Associated Press All-America Honorable Mention --- is the second player from Columbia to earn the MBWA’s top women’s Division I accolade, preceded in 2017 by Camille Zimmerman. Hsu is the first Lion to receive two WBCA A-A selections and to earn both the WBCA/AP All-America laurels in the same season.

An All-Met First Team pick in both 2022 and 2023, and a Third Teamer in 2020 (Columbia sat out the 2020-21 season due to the Covid situation), Hsu led the Lions (23-7) to a 13-1 Ivy League mark in 2023-24, a co-share of the league’s regular season title and an at-large berth in the NCAA Tournament.

She scored a league-best 611 points (No. 21 nationally) this season with an average of 20.4 points per game (No. 1 Ivy, No. 39 NCAA). She pulled down 220 rebounds for 7.3 rpg (No.3 Ivy), and added 62 assists (2.1 apg) and 34 steals (1.1 spg). Her 44.6% overall shooting accuracy was third-best in the Ivy circuit, while she led the league and was 42nd in the nation shooting 38.8% from 3-point range. She was No. 10 nationally with 3.00 treys per game.

Among the many records Hsu set, she is the Ivy’s No. 3 career-leading scorer with 2,126 points, and is No. 1 in the league for both career 3-pointers made (375) and 3-point goals in a single season (112). She ranks No. 1 in Columbia career annals for points scored (2,126), field goals made (751), 3-points goals (375) and career games played/started (123). She also holds a variety of program single game and single season records.
