Whereas, Freshman Center, Christy Yusef, received the SIAC Tournament Sportsmanship Award and was named to the SIAC All Tournament Team; and

Whereas, Senior Guard, Tina Hayes, was named First Team All Academic Team and received the All SIAC Hustle Award and Junior Forward, Shauna Armstrong, was also named to the All SIAC Tournament Team; and

Whereas, both Senior Guard, Vanessa Wilson, and Junior Guard, Dionne Chandler, were named to the Second Team All Academic Team, rounding out an exceptional, award-winning team; and

Whereas, this impressive level of competition could not have been accomplished without the leadership and guidance of Head Coach Maurice Bailey, who received the SIAC Outstanding Tournament Coach of the Year Award in his first year of coaching the team; and

Whereas, the members of this outstanding team are Vanessa Wilson, Tina Hayes, Dionne Chandler, Lashon McCoulley, Clarissa Cross, Kim Cue, Rosa Coleman, Lynn Lyburd, Christy Yusef, Shaunna Armstrong, Cindy Gonzalez, and Dianna Muhammed; and
