Love played in 25 games for UB, but it was her actions off the court that made her suitable for the award. Named the Top Newcomer last season by her teammates before she even stepped on the court, Love has always been consummate teammate. Recently, Love participated in an alternative spring Break, traveling to New Orleans to help rebuild the city following Hurricane Katrina.

Mezzadri did not see any action last season on the court, but was named Most Improved following her work ethic throughout the season and into the off-season. Mezzadri has been able to do all that while maintaining a 4.00 GPA.
