AUSTINTOWN – Two Wilmington College women's basketball players have been named to the All-Ohio Athletic Conference teams, the league announced today (March 4, 2015).

Senior Courtney Tucker (Cincinnati, OH/Sycamore) earned first-team honors, while sophomore Brittaney Jefferson (Dayton, OH/Chaminade Julienne) earned honorable mention laurels.

"Courtney and Brittaney were both great representatives for our basketball program, and I couldn't be happier for them," said Wilmington head coach Jerry Scheve.

Tucker, who was Wilmington's best perimeter defender, led the team with 11.1 points and 6.4 rebounds. The scoring average was the highest in her four-year career. She scored in double figures in 18 of the team's 27 games, and grabbed a board in every game.

"Courtney is very deserving of this honor," said Scheve. "She had an outstanding season, and was a big reason for the success that we had. She led the league in steals and was in the top 10 in scoring and rebounding, and is without a doubt a premier defender."

Jefferson is the only player to earn All-OAC honors that didn't start a single game for their team. She was second on the team with 9.5 points, and was ninth in the league with 1.8 steals.

"Brittaney took a big step forward this year, and we expect even bigger things from her in the future," said Scheve.

Wilmington fell to Capital in the second round of the Ohio Athletic Conference tournament, and finished 15-12 on the season.
