ATLANTA, Ga. -- The Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) announced Shaquina
Mosley from Central Arizona College as The State Farm/WBCA Junior College/Community
College (JC/CC) Player of the Year. The WBCA presents this award annually to the
top players in each of the five WBCA collegiate divisions (NCAA Divisions I, II,
III, NAIA, and JC/CC) and high school at its National Convention.
"Shaquina has had an outstanding collegiate career thus far and we are pleased to present her with this honor," said Beth Bass, WBCA CEO. "We wish her continued success next year at the University of Kansas. Mosley returned for her second year at Central Arizona after a successful freshman season where she averaged 15.2 points, 6.6 assists and 3.7 steals per game. Mosley was named First-Team All-ACCAC (Arizona Community College Athletic Conference), All-Region, ACCAC Freshman of the Year, and was selected to the NJCAA All-Tournament Team at the 2004 National Tournament. This season brought more honors to Mosley, as the 5-6 point guard earned 2005 Kodak/WBCA All-America honors, Co-Player of the Year in the Arizona Community College Athletic Conference, and was a First-Team All-ACCAC pick. In addition, Mosley took her team into the 2005 NJCAA Division I Championship game leading the ACCAC in assists per game (8.2) and shooting percentage (.608), while riding a 27-game winning streak. Mosley will play for the University of Kansas next year. "State Farm is proud to partner with the WBCA to recognize Shaquina for her dedication and the tremendous achievements she has accomplished," said Pam El, Vice President of Marketing at State Farm. The State Farm/WBCA JC/CC Player of the Year Award is selected by the 10-member WBCA Player of the Year Committee, which consists of one WBCA-member coach from each of the nine WBCA JC/CC Regions and the committee chair. Mosley's award will be formally presented at the WBCA Awards Luncheon presented by State Farm and Jostens on Sunday, April 3, at the Indiana Convention Center. The State Farm/WBCA Player of the Year presentation is part of the 2005 WBCA National Convention, held in conjunction with the NCAA Division I Women's Final Four in Indianapolis, Indiana.
