Seniors Henderson, Eidson earn honors
Laurie Henderson and Desiree Eidson were veteran leaders on a CMU women’s basketball team that brimmed with inexperience.
During the team’s annual awards banquet, Henderson earned the team’s “Most Valuable Player” award. The guard finished the season scoring in double figures five of her final seven games. Henderson led the team in assists 10 times this season and had a career-high 15 points against Oklahoma State.
Henderson’s all-around ability also received recognition, as she won “Best Defensive Player” and “Top Free-Throw Shooter.”
Eidson leaves CMU as the latest member of the 1,000 point club. One of the best rebounders in the MAC, Eidson earned team’s “Top Rebounder.” The forward averaged 6.2 per game this season.
Freshman Chasidy Myers’ steady progression earned her “The Most Improved” award, while sophomore Emily Gross’ consistant hard work and dedidcation were major factors in her winning the “Free Throw and Three Point Champion” awards.
The Dee Pommerenk award began last season to reward a player who displayes a positive attitude, teamwork and a willingness to contribute to the maximum effort. Hard-working junior Raina Harmon won the award.
