Mac Millan,
Dudley named to All-NEC First Team; Brookes tabbed for NEC All-Rookie
Team
Mar. 2, 2001
Sophomores Kim Mac
Millan (Toms River, NJ) and Tamika Dudley (Woodbridge, VA) each
were named to the All-Northeast Conference First Team and Jessica
Brookes (Ocean City, NJ) was tabbed for the league's All-Rookie
team tonight.
Mac Millan enjoyed
a phenomenal campaign in which she led the league in scoring (18.8
ppg), 3-pointers made (3.67) and 3-point shooting percentage (.401).
The 5-7 guard is among the nation's leaders in each category.
Mac Millan, who was
named the league's Player of the Week on February 19, has nailed
a 3-pointer in 40 straight contests entering the NEC Tournament.
She has 99 three-pointers so far this season, four shy of her
own single-season school record.
Last season, Mac Millan
was named the NEC Rookie of the Year and selected to the All-NEC
Second Team.
Dudley has asserted
herself as one of the most tenacious players in the league. The
5-9 power forward is second in the league with 8.6 rebounds per
contest and shooting at .540. She has 10 double-doubles entering
the tournament and 12 for her career.
Among her heroics,
Dudley recorded seven straight double-doubles from January 25-February
12 and was tabbed the NEC Player of the Week on February 5. Dudley,
who was named to the All-Rookie team last season, has scored in
double figures 24 times during the regular season.
Brookes overcame an
early-season ankle injury to become one the league's top post
players. January was a month to remember for the 6-1 center, who
averaged 13.0 points during that span and helped LIU to a 5-4
mark.
Brookes was named NEC
Rookie of the Week on January 8 and 29.
The Blackbirds enter
the NEC Tournament with a school-best No. 3 seed.
