TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – After a historic season for the Stillman College women's basketball team, the Lady Tigers have earned multiple postseason accolades as Jaida Minter, Jamariah Turner, Alico Dunk and KaTia May have all received All-HBCU Athletic Conference award recognition. 

Minter was named Newcomer of the Year and All-HBCUAC First Team. She is a one-time conference Offensive Player of the Week and Newcomer of the Week. Minter had been pivotal for the Lady Tigers' offense. She is the leading scorer with 13.0 points a game, shooting 42.4 percent from three. She's posted 326 total points and dished 59 assists. The native of Dallas, Texas, grabbed 79 rebounds and registered a block.

Turner earned All-HBCUAC Second Team. She is a one-time conference Offensive Player of the Week. Turner is the second-leading scorer on the team at 11.7 points per game. The native of Huntsville, Alabama,  shot 43.7 percent from the floor. She's been just as important on the defensive end with 2.0 steals per game (47 total) and 3.5 rebounds a game (84 total).

Dunk earned HBCUAC Coach of the Year while KaTia May won HBCUAC Assistant Coach of the Year. 

The duo led Stillman College to set the record for most wins in program history with 22 victories, surpassing the 2011-2012 team that won 20 games under head coach Cassandra Moorer when the team played in NCAA Division II SIAC.

Under the stewardship of Dunk and May, the Stillman offense ran to the tune of 71.2 points per game and with 766 shots made, no team in the conference made more buckets than the Lady Tigers. The defense was stifling and held opponents to 57.5 points per game, which was third best in the conference, and opponents shot 38.7 percent against the team. 

Stillman College returns to action in the quarterfinals of the HBCUAC 2025 Hope Credit Union Basketball Championships hosted in Birthright Alumni Hall on Feb. 28 at 6 p.m. The opponent is still to be determined, but the Tigers will face the winner between Talladega College and Oakwood University.
