NIU women’s basketball standouts Tammy Hinchee and Carol Owens added selection to the United States basketball Writers Association District Four team to their list of accomplishments for the 1989-90 season.

Hinchee, a 6-foot-2 senior forward, and Owens, a 6-foot-3 senior center, are joined on the 10-player USBWA District Four squad by Purdue University’s MaChelle Joseph and Joy Holmes; Amy Rakers, Southern Illinois; Karen Robinson, Notre Dame; Veronica Ross, DePaul; Nicole Sanchez, Ohio State; Kelly Savage, Toledo; and Michelle Savage, Northwestern.

Hinchee led NIU’s rebounding (10.4 rpg) and was the team’s No. 2 scorer (19.7 ppg). She closed her collegiate career as NIU’s all-time leading rebounder (1,009) and is No. 2 on the all-time scoring list and blocked shots (200).

Owens adds the USWBA District Four honor to her second Kodak District Four all-America regional team selection announced March 30. Owens is NIU’s all-time leading scorer (2,102). She is the first Huskie to reach both the 2,000-point and 1,000-rebound milestones (1,028).
