SOUTHAVEN,
Miss. – Junior guard
Andrea Dubose has been named to the 2008
All-Gulf South Conference Women’s Basketball
Tournament Team after leading the Blossoms to the
GSC semi-finals for the first time in school
history.
Dubose
(Hickory, Miss.) is the only player to make the
team that wasn’t a member of either team to make the
finals of the tournament.
In the opening round game of the tournament, Dubose
led the Blossoms to a 71-66 win over
Alabama-Huntsville with 17 points, eight rebounds,
five steals, and two assists.
Dubose really found a groove in the quarterfinals
with 19 points, 15 coming from beyond the
three-point arc, where she hit five of seven shots.
Dubose and the Blossoms upset the No. 7 West Georgia
Lady Wolves in the game by a convincing margin of
79-54.
In the semi-finals, No. 13 Arkansas Tech quieted
Dubose as much as they could, but the transfer from
East Central Community College still racked up 10
points and four steals. She only played 27 minutes
in the game because of foul trouble in the 72-63
loss.
Joining Dubose on the All-GSC Tournament team are
junior forward Amanda Grappe and senior center Krishna Baker from
Arkansas Tech as well as senior forward Brittani
Calhoun and senior guard Lakira Boyd from the
tournament champions Delta State. Delta State’s
senior guard and GSC West Player of the Year was
named the tournament’s most outstanding player.
