ATLANTA, Ga. - The Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) announced DePaul senior guard Brittany Hrynko to the 2014-15 "Wade Watch." Hrynko represents not only the Blue Demons, but also the BIG EAST.
Other notable candidates that Hrynko will share the court with during the season include Jewell Lloyd of Notre Dame, Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis and Breanna Stewart of Connecticut and Texas A&M's Courtney Walker.
Now in its 38th year, The Wade Trophy is named in honor of the late, legendary Delta State University coach, Lily Margaret Wade. During her six seasons as head coach, Wade won three consecutive national championships with the Lady Statesmen and recorded a career record of 157-23.
Regarded as "The Heisman of Women's Basketball," The Wade Trophy is presented annually to the WBCA NCAA Division I Player of the Year by SHAPE America - the Society of Health and Physical Educators and the WBCA. The 25-member list is made up of top NCAA Division I student-athletes who best embody the spirit of Lily Margaret Wade according to the following criteria: game and season statistics, leadership, character, effect on their team and overall playing ability.
The Blue Demons next take to the court against Northwestern in a 7 p.m. duel on Saturday, Nov. 29.
