Make sure you vote for your favorite senior male & female basketball player for this year's award.  Voting will be open until February 11.

Smith University), Elizer Iceson (Saint Augustine’s College), Shayln Graves (Saint Paul’s College), Tanisha McGaughey (Shaw University), Angela Brown (Virginia State University) and Tonaye Smith (Virginia Union University).

Of the 20 candidates, the male and female winner will be determined through a voting process that runs concurrent with the basketball season and is divided into three categories: 1) on-line fan voting, 2) coaches, and 3) media. Each category accounts for one-third of the total vote.

Lowe’s, a sponsor of the CIAA Men’s and Women’s Basketball Tournament, will recognize the men’s and women’s basketball winners on Lowe’s Day at the CIAA on Thursday, February 25, 2010, between the 7:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. games.
