OAKWOOD'S ADAMS NAMED TO PRESEASON ALL HBCUAC FIRST TEAM

AMBASSADORS PICKED TO FINISH SIXTH IN PRE-SEASON POLL

NEW ORLEANS, La. – Oakwood University junior guard Trenisha Adams was named to the Historically Black Colleges and Universities Athletic Conference (HBCUAC) preseason first team, league officials announced Wednesday.
 
Adams, a shooting guard from Rome, Ga., averaged 12.4 points, five rebounds and 2.8 assists per game last season while leading the league with 79 3-pointers. She started all 29 games for the Ambassadors.
 
"Trenisha had a great year," Oakwood coach Ronnie Abrams said. "Not only was she one of our best offensive players, she was one of our best defensive players. We're going to lean on her even more this year not only as a player, but as a leader. I believe she'll be up for the challenge."
 
Joining Adams on the All-HBCUAC first team was Dillard University's Cassidy Lowe, the league's preseason Player of the Year, Southern University at New Orleans' Jordan Harris, Fisk University's Jayla Bibbs and Philander Smith's Ari Winston.
