This is the third outlet to recognize both Priddy and Tucker as All-Americans, joining the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) and Division II Conference Commissioners Association (D2CCA). The duo led the Lady Bulldogs to 101 victories over the past four seasons, including a school-record 35 wins this season while finishing as the National Runner-Up in NCAA Division II.
Priddy (Piedmont, Okla.) picks up her first All-America honor from the Division II Bulletin after an exceptional senior season that saw her average 17.1 points per game while leading the Lady Bulldogs with 116 assists and 91 made three-pointers.

Tucker (Bartlesville, Okla.) earns recognition from the Division II Bulletin for the fourth straight season, picking up her third straight All-America selection after being named to the All-Freshman Team in 2015-16. She was also an honorable mention All-American as a sophomore and named to the outlet’s All-America Fourth Team last season. Tucker led SWOSU in scoring this season, averaging 18.6 points per game while also pulling down 7.0 rebounds per game while totaling 66 blocked shots.
