More news about: Randolph

FOREST, Va.- The Old Dominion Athletic Conference on Wednesday named its All-Conference Team in Women's Basketball. Sophomore Kylie Stark (Lynchburg, Va./Brookville) was selected to the First Team while first year Teniyah Crenshaw-Patterson (Newport News, Va./Heritage) was named the Rookie of the Year and to the Second Team.

For Randolph, this is the first time in program history that two players have been named All-Conference in the ODAC in the same season. Stark is the first WildCat to be named to the First Team since Tara Carleton in the 1999-2000 season. It is back-to-back Rookies of the Year for Randolph as Stark was named Rookie of the Year last season.

In her first full season as a WildCat, Stark started 21 of 22 games. She averaged 13 points a game with four 20+ scoring performances scoring a career-best 29 points in a victory at Virginia Wesleyan. She leads the 'Cats in total rebounds with 135 and steals with 51. She had at least one steal in every game. Currently, Stark is tied for second in assists on the team with 48. Stark's 39.3% three-point percentage in conference play is third overall. She is fifth in steals in ODAC play and sixth overall and sixth in points per game.

Stark earned her first ODAC weekly award and second D3hoops.com Team of the Week recognition the week of January 17. Stark helped lead the WildCats to two big conference wins as she scored 23 points and grabbed seven rebounds as Randolph defeated Shenandoah 76-45, Randolph's first win over the Hornets since 2017. She followed that up with a career-high 29 points and eight rebounds in a 65-47 victory at Virginia Wesleyan, just the fifth over the Marlins in program history. On the week, she averaged 26 points and brought in eight rebounds per game, shooting 46% from three.

Crenshaw-Patterson was the only first-year in the ODAC to earn All-Conference honors. Playing in 22 games and starting 10, she is averaging just a tick below Stark with 12.9 points per game and is the team leader in total points with 284. Her 101 made baskets and 42.3% field goal percentage lead the 'Cats.  She had five 20+ scoring games topping at a season-high 25 in a win against the Hornets. She had three double-double performances. She is second in total rebounds with 131 and the leader in blocked shots with 10. Crenshaw-Patterson is eighth in the ODAC in scoring per game in conference play, 11th in made field goals, and ninth in free throws made.

Randolph is 16-6 overall on the season having already set the record for most overall wins. They will face Shenandoah in the ODAC Quarterfinals on Friday afternoon at 3:00 p.m. in Salem, Va.
