SMU graduates Morgan Bolton ’17 and Sylvia de Toledo ’17 have been nominated for the 2017 NCAA Woman of the Year award after completing their senior seasons on the Hilltop.
Bolton was a three-year starter at point guard for the Mustangs. As a senior, she led the team to the WNIT Round of 16 with postseason wins against Louisiana Tech and Abilene Christian before losing at Indiana.
As a four-year starter for the equestrian team, de Toledo finished her career with a program-best 70 career wins, and ranks second on the SMU All-time Most Outstanding Player (MOP) list with 14.
NCAA Woman of the Year nominees are submitted each year by member schools. Nine finalists from that list will be announced in September with the winner announced on Oct. 22 in Indianapolis.
