Camille Zimmerman of Columbia University was named the All-Met Division I women’s college basketball Player of the Year by the Met Basketball Writers Association for the 2016-17 season.  
 
Zimmerman accepted her honor from her head coach Megan Griffin at the 2017 Haggerty Awards dinner on Wednesday, April 26, at the Westchester Marriott in Tarrytown, NY.

A 6-1 junior guard/forward from Tempe, AZ, Zimmerman --- who led the Ivy League in scoring and rebounding --- paced the Lions (13-14) with 22.5 ppg (10th nationally) and 9.6 rpg (37th in NCAA). She also had 67 assists (2.5 apg), 41 steals (1.5 spg) and posted 13 double-doubles to lead the Ivy League and place 34th in the nation.

Zimmerman set single-season Columbia records for total points (608) and scoring average, and finished the campaign second on the school's all-time scoring list with 1,408 points.

She graduated the following year as Columbia's all-time leading scorer (1,973) and rebounder (940). She signed a contract with the WNBA's Minnesota Lynx, and began playing professionally in Finland in 2018.
