Sophomore guard Jerica Coley, the Sun Belt Player of the Year and FIU leader in scoring, rebounding, assists and blocks, received Honorable Mention notice on the Associated Press' Division I women's basketball All-America team.
Previous FIU players given an All-America shout out by the AP are Dalma Ivanyi, 1998 Honorable Mention, 1999 Third Team; point guard Andrea Nagy and forward Albena Branzova, 1995 Third Team and Honorable Mention, respectively.
Coley moved to point guard this season, which is where she played in high school. Next year could see her scoring numbers dip but her overall effect on the game increase as she learns how to distribute better. As FIU coach Cindy Russo, the nation's leading Coleyphile, said, she just needs to learn how to play triple-covered.
