HIGH POINT, N.C. – Sophomore Sydnei Moss (North Augusta, S.C./North Augusta) and junior Amanda Stull (Rushville, Ind./Rushville Consolidated) of the Coastal Carolina University women's basketball team earned All-Big South honors at the Women’s Basketball Awards Banquet held at the Hotel High Point Thursday, March 12. Moss was named to the All-Big South Second Team, while Stull was selected to the conference's All-Academic Team.   

 

Moss is one of three players to play in all 29 games for the Chants this season, earning 24 starts. During conference play, Moss stepped up her offensive game, averaging 14.8 points and 6.6 boards per contest.  During non-conference play, she averaged 8.8 points and 7.2 rebounds per contest but now leads the team in both categories with 12.1 points and 6.9 boards. The North Augusta, S.C., native has registered double figures in the scoring column in 15 of 16 league games played and hit a career-high 22 points twice and tallied three double-doubles on the season  

 

Stull was selected to the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District III First Team (Feb. 5) and maintains a 3.94 grade-point average as a biology major. She was named Big South Player of the week Nov. 24 after leading the team with 14.3 points per game and shooting 88.2 percent from the free-throw line. The Rushville, Ind., native leads the team from the foul line, shooting 79.4 percent and is second on the team in scoring with 10.2 points per game. After sitting out the first game of her career, Stull drained a career-high 25 points at UNC Asheville (Feb. 9). Stull was two rebounds shy of a triple-double, scoring her 500th career point registering 15 points, 10 assists and eight rebounds against Gardner-Webb (Jan. 31).
