Junior forward Taylor Blevins (Abingdon, Va.), one of four players from the Old Dominion Athletic Conference to be selected to this year's team, is now eligible for Academic All-America® honors.

Blevins, a graduate of Abingdon High School, is averaging 12.1 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.4 steals through 26 games this season. She has led the Wasps to the ODAC Tournament Semifinals for the fourth year in a row and scored in double figures in 17 contests over the season. She put up a season-high 21 points at Randolph-Macon College on February 3 and has season-bests of 11 rebounds, six assists and four steals. Blevins is a 3.91 student, majoring in biology. Emory & Henry is currently 21-5 on the year and finished first in the ODAC Regular Season.
