EVANSVILLE – After helping lead the University of Evansville women's basketball team to one of the biggest turnarounds in school history on the court, senior guards Sara Dickey and Camary Williams were further honored for their exploits off it as well as each were tabbed as honorable mentions for the Missouri Valley Conference Scholar-Athlete team.
Dickey, a Montezuma, Ind., native, is UE's all-time leading scorer with 2,071 career points. This season, she's led the Aces in scoring for the fourth consecutive time, putting up just under 15 per game. Off the court, she's on-pace to graduate with a degree in exercise science with a 3.22 grade-point-average.
Williams, who's enjoyed a breakout season for the Aces, is chipping in 14 points, eight rebounds and just under four steals per contest. The Ft. Myers, Fla., native ranks third in the conference in boards and second nationally in takeaways. She currently owns a 3.40 GPA and will graduate with a degree in sport management.
The MVC Scholar-Athlete team mirrors the selection process for the College Sports Information Directors of America Academic All-America teams. Nominees must be starters or important reserve players of at least sophomore standing with a 3.20-or-better GPA.
UE will open up play at the Missouri Valley Conference tournament on Friday against Missouri State.
