Women’s basketball athletes earn honors

Players make Academic all-conference teams

Four members of the Kansas women’s basketball team made the Academic All-Big 12 team, announced Thursday.

Junior forward Jamie Boyd and sophomore guard Ivana Catic earned first team honors for earning a grade point average of more than 3.20. Junior forward Taylor McIntosh and sophomore center Marija Zinic made the second team for maintaining GPAs between 3.00 and 3.19.

Boyd and McIntosh are repeat honorees after making the cut last season. Freshmen are not eligible for Academic All-Big 12 honors, so Catic and Zinic are first-time recipients of the honor.

Mosley only Jayhawk named to All-Big 12 team

Senior guard Shaquina Mosley earned All-Big 12 second team honors last Friday. The Big 12 coaches selected Mosley one day after she scored a career-high 26 points against Missouri.

The 5-foot-6 point guard is averaging 11 points, five rebounds and four assists per game. She leads the team in points and assists and is second in rebounds.

Mosley arrived at Kansas as a highly touted transfer from Central Arizona College, where she was the National Junior College Player of the Year in 2005. Mosley’s first season at Kansas was a disappointment, as she only played an average of 13 minutes per game in a reserve role.

This season started in a similar manner, but Mosley played her way off the bench to become one of the team’s brightest stars.

Mosley was the only Jayhawk named All-Big 12. The Big 12 Player of the Year award went to Oklahoma center Courtney Paris.
