Alcorn St Team Capsule

Posted: Wed March 14, 2001 at 8:57 a.m EST

Coach: Shirley A. Walker (23rd year) Nickname: Lady Braves

Record and conference: 21-10, Southwestern Athletic Seed, Region and Bid: 16, Midwest, Automatic

Previous NCAA Tournament Bids: 1 NCAA Tournament Record: 0-1 Final Four Appearances: None NCAA Tournament Championships: None Best NCAA Tournament Finish: 2000, First Round Last NCAA Appearance: 2000, lost to Louisiana Tech, 95-53, First Round

Starters: F - Aja Wellington (5-10, Sr., 7.8 ppg, 5.8 rpg) F - Cherea Wood (5-11, Sr., 17.2 ppg, 7.7 rpg) G - Daisha Reed (5-8, Sr., 9.2 ppg, 3.2 rpg) G - Queriston Haynes (5-8, Sr., 8.2 ppg, 3.5 rpg) G - Kamrica Turk (5-4, Jr., 5.8 ppg, 3.4 rpg)

Outlook: The Lady Braves won both the regular season title and the Southwestern Athletic Conference tournament and makes an appearance in the NCAA Tournament for the second straight season and second time in school history. However, it will likely be a quick exit, due to a first-round matchup with powerhouse Notre Dame. Cherea Woods was the SWAC Player of the Year, but its likely Alcorn State's 10-game winning streak will be put to an end.
