WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - Wake Forest senior guard Alisha Mosley has been selected as the 1999-2000 recipient of the Robin Roberts/WBCA Sports Communication Scholarship Award, provided by the Women's Institute of Sports Education (WISE). The award is presented annually to one female collegiate basketball player who intends to pursue graduate work and a career in sports communication/journalism.
Mosley will receive the award at the Jostens-Berenson Awards Brunch, Sunday, April 2, 2000 at the Grand Ballroom in the Philadelphia Marriott. The Jostens-Berenson Awards Brunch is a program of the WBCA National Convention, held in conjunction with the NCAA Division I Women's Final Four.
"Alisha is an outstanding student-athlete and is very deserving of the Robin Roberts/WBCA Sports Communication Scholarship," said WBCA Executive Director Beth Bass. "On behalf of the WBCA membership I want to congratulate her and wish her all the best in her future endeavors."
The lone senior on the Demon Deacon's roster, Mosley received honorable mention All-Atlantic Coast Conference honors this year after leading the Deacs in scoring (11.5 ppg), steals (1.1 spg) and three-point field goal percentage (33.3%). Her best game of the year came when she scored a career-high 24 points in Wake's upset of 15th-ranked North Carolina on Jan. 16, 2000. Mosley ranks third all-time at Wake Forest for career three-pointers made (118) and attempted (390). In addition, she ranks eighth on the WFU all-time career free throw percentage chart (72.9%), 10th in all-time assists (217) and 16th in scoring (926). A native of Ellicott City, Md., she is the daughter of Vicky and Allen Mosley who currently reside in Nashville, Tenn.
Founded in 1981, the WBCA promotes women's basketball by unifying coaches at all levels to develop a reputable identity for the sport and to foster and promote the development of the game in all of its aspects as an amateur sport for women and girls.
