PHILADELPHIA - Saint Joseph's senior forward Ashley Logue was named Most Valuable Player Wednesday evening at the Saint Joseph's University Women's Basketball Hall of Fame at the Hawks' 34th Annual Awards Banquet held at the Campion Banquet Facility on campus. A four-year letterwinner, Logue consistently improved for the Hawks, becoming one of the top post players in the Atlantic 10 and Philadelphia Big 5. This season, the Hawks' co-captain turned in her best season, averaging a career-high in points per game (9.5), while leading the team in rebounding (5.3 rpg). Helping Saint Joseph's claim the Hawk Classic title this past December, she earned All-Tournament Team honors in the process. Logue capped her career 21st in team history with 449 career rebounds and was named to the Philadelphia All-Big 5 Second Team this season. Recognized as this year's Big 5 Most Improved Player, she also earned the same honor from her team on Thursday evening. Among others honored at the banquet were seniors Mariame Djouara (Chris DiJulia Inspirational Award), Brittany Ford (Best Offensive Player), Amy Gillespie (Best Defensive Player and Loyalty and Leadership Award); sophomores Michelle Baker (Roosevelt Hunter Community Service Award) and Katie Kuester (Patricia Ryan Unsung Hero Award); and freshman Shelby Smith (Reverend Emory Ross Academic Excellence Award). The Hawks also recognized Rabbi Richard Libowitz as Saint Joseph's Fan of the Year.
