Player of the Year Transfers to Lady Eagles

STATESBORO, GA – Head Coach Rusty Cram has announced the addition of Janay Wilson to the 2009-2010 Georgia Southern women’s basketball roster. Wilson is a 5-8 guard from Warner Robins, Georgia.

Wilson joins the team as a transfer from Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD). In her freshman season, she was named Freshman Player of the Year, Second Team All-Conference for the Florida Sun Conference and was the Bees’ Defensive Player of the Year. In addition, Wilson set SCAD’s single-season steals record with 116. After finishing the 2008-09 season averaging 11.5 points and 7.1 rebounds, Wilson was named first-team All-Sun Conference, Defensive Player of the Year and the recipient of the Champion of Character Award, an award based on academics and the five core values – respect, responsibility, integrity, servant leadership and sportsmanship.

“Janay is a very quick one-two guard that will bring a great deal of defense to the team. She is a great penetrator and we’re excited about having her. She will be a great addition to the club,” said Cram.
