The University of Dayton had three players honored by Full Court, headlined by Amber Deane who was named to the Full Court All-America Freshman Second Team.

The Atlantic 10 Rookie of the Year Deane started every game for the Flyers and averaged just shy of ten points per game (9.9 ppg). She shot an astounding 55.6 percent from the field – tops among Division I freshmen and among the top 10 in the country for all D-I collegians. Deane, from Lathrup Village, Mich., was named the Most Valuable Player of the Maggie Dixon Classic after scoring a career-high 27 points with five rebounds and two steals in the championship game against No. 25 DePaul.
