NEWARK, Del. - - Wilmington University women's basketball superstar Amelia Simmons ('10) continues to be on the minds of basketball critics as the former All-American has been named one of the East Regions' Super 75, as discussed by regional experts Chris Granozio and Steve Zerdelian.

The duo, who runs the in-depth East Region only basketball website www.d2easthoops.org, selected 75 women's players, 15 at each position, who caught their eye live and in person since their coverage of the region started with the 1984-85 season.

Amelia Simmons was selected as one of the top 15 '4's' that Granozio and Zerdelian have watched. She was the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference's Rookie of the Year in 2006-07 and bookended her career as the CACC Player of the Year and WBCA Honorable Mention All-American as a senior in 2009-10.

Here's what they had to say about Simmons:

Amelia Simmons remains one of the great talents in regional annals and deserves proper mention. The lean, lanky frontcourt stalwart for the Wildcats was a marvelously skilled player with the proclivity to excel in most every area of the game. The 5-11 local product (Wilmington, Delaware) was the central part of the last winning WU era (68 victories in her tenure) and closed her career as one of the rare 2K/1K players in the region (2,267 points and 1,069 rebounds), illustrating her excellent production. Simmons guided the Wildcats to a CACC title game appearance in '09, was named All-CACC first team thrice and picked up the CACC Player of the Year award in '10 (the same year she was an Honorable Mention All-American). She was able to take games over at times thanks to her accuracy (46% FG), deep range (141 three-pointers) and defense (162 steals and 116 rejections). Simmons dominates the WU record book and endures as a standout for her, or any, era.

Simmons is all over the Wildcats' record book, making a milestone 115 starts in 117 games played. She's the only player with more than 2,000 career points, clocking in with 2,267, leading to the top four spots for points in a season. She averaged 19.4 points per game in her career, with a record best 37 against Concordia on November 15, 2008. She's second all-time with 1,069 career rebounds, averaging 9.1 per game. Simmons is also ninth all-time with 144 career assists, fourth with 162 steals, and second with 116 blocked shots.

The only other CACC member on the '4's' list is USciences' Leah Shumoski ('06). You can check out the complete list of the The Super 75 – The 4's here: https://www.d2easthoops.org/women/features/Super_75/The_Super_75_-_The_4-s
