    Based on this description I am surprised to see Andrea Riley on this list. IMO she falls a bit short on "character" based on her on-court behavior.

    "The Wade Watch list is made up of the top Division I student-athletes who best embody the spirit of Lily Margaret Wade, from game and season statistics to leadership, character, the effect the player has on her team and overall playing ability."

    I had the same reaction to inclusion of Andrea Riley - seems like someone who has been discipliined for unsportsmanlike conduct in a game would automatically not qualify on the leadership and character criteria. But then maybe the "watchers" have different definitions.

    Congratulations to Courtney Paris Takia Starks
