The ISU guard ranks third on the team this season at 10.5 points per game and has scored in double figures in 18 games, including a season-high of 20 points at Drake on Jan. 11. In the classroom, Whitley carries a 3.79 GPA while majoring in Physical Education.

Munn leads the team and ranks fourth in the MVC in scoring this season, averaging 14.7 points per game with 22 games of at least 10 points. The Indianapolis native has posted some of her best games of the season away from Hulman Center, going for a career-high 27 points on the road at Missouri State (Feb. 1) and Southern Illinois (Feb. 16) this season. Munn also leads the conference in minutes played, averaging 37.2 minutes per game on the court. The ISU guard ranks third in the MVC with 68 three-pointers this season, sitting in seventh place in Indiana State's career standings. In the classroom, Munn carries a 3.74 GPA while majoring in Exercise Science.

Rademacher makes her second straight appearance on the honorable mention list after also earning the honor as a sophomore.
