There were awards given out across the board Sunday afternoon when the NIU women’s basketball team held its 1988-89 awards banquet at the Country Inn in Sycamore.

The banquet was open to the public and about 60 people were on hand to honor the Huskies. Head coach Jane Albright and her squad compiled a 23-7 record, which was an NIU record-setting season for both men’s and women’s basketball.

The Huskie award winners were as follows:

Most Valuable Player: Carol Owens, center

Most Improved Player: Kris Weis, guard

Coach’s Award: Denise Dove, guard

Best Defensive Player: Carol Owens, center
