KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) announced the 2019-20 Division I Women's Basketball All-America Teams, and William Woods University's seniors Kaycee Gerald and Peyton Greenlee were named to the Honorable Mention team.

"Kaycee and Peyton played a huge role in our success this year," stated first-year head coach Ayriell Robinson. "They know what it's like to win because they have been doing it all of their careers. They each have stepped up throughout this season in clutch moments and games. They understood the gravity of this being their last go round of playing basketball, and they left it all on the court. I think most importantly Kaycee and Peyton have left an impression on our younger players and set a standard for them to reach towards. They are definitely some of the best to have come through this program and have left their mark."
 
Gerald and Greenlee rewrote the record books this season, helping the Owls to their best season since 2012-13. The Owls posted a 25-7 record and earned the program's 11^th appearance to the NAIA National Championship with their at-large bid. The Owls moved into the rankings and finished the season ranked 25^th in the NAIA Coaches' Top 25 Poll.

"It is unfortunate that our season ended abruptly because not only did Kaycee, Peyton, and Lexy hope to finish their careers the way that it began (making a run in the national tournament), the rest of the team was excited to get a taste of that feeling as well," commented Robinson. "We should learn from every situation, and I think the obvious lesson here is to play every game like it's your last. This unprecedented end is going to change the way athletes play the game for the better. So I look forward to next year being one of the most competitive because everyone will be trying to get back what was taken away from them."
