STUEVE NAMED MIAA MVP

MIAA RELEASE

March 3, 2008- All-American Michelle Stueve of the MIAA Regular Season Champion Lady Hornets was a unanimous selection as the Most Valuable Player in the MIAA by a vote of the league coaches.  She is joined on the All-MIAA team by second team selection Cassondra Boston and honorable mention picks Ida Edwards and Andrea Leiker.  Leiker was also a member of the All-Defensive Team.

Stueve became the MIAA's all-time scoring leader earlier this season and now has 2,322 career points. She needs one rebound to become just the third MIAA player to record 2,000 points and 1,000 rebounds. This season she is the MIAA's best three-point shooter in both makes and percentage, is ranked second in scoring and third in rebounding, free throw percentage and field goal percentage at the end of the regular season. This is the third straight year Stueve has been a unanimous first-team All-MIAA performer after earning the league's Freshman of the Year award in 2005.

Boston is 17^th in the MIAA in scoring this year and is third in three-point field goal percentage, ninth in assist to turnover ratio and tenth in made three pointers. She missed all or part of six games with an ankle injury over the semester break. She has come back to average 13.1 points and 3.8 assists since her return. She was the MIAA's Freshman of the Year last season.

Edwards has averaged 13.4 points and 7.4 rebounds for the Lady Hornets after becoming eligible following the first semester.  Leiker is 14^th in the MIAA in scoring and is second in the league in three-point field goal percentage, fifth in free throw percentage and eight in made treys despite drawing the opponents top offensive threat in most games.

The Lady Hornets open the MIAA Tournament on Thursday against Truman.  Tip-off from Kansas City's Municipal Auditorium is set for 6 p.m.

NOTES:

Stueve is the Lady Hornets seventh MIAA MVP in the last 12 years. (Michelle Stueve-2008, Kristie McClain-2003, Emily Bloss-2001, Tara Holloway-2000, Jurgita Kausaite-1999, Aneta Kausaite-1998, 1997).
