Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi President Flavius C.
Killebrew presented the first ever Silver Wave Award to the Women's
basketball team on Friday at Kings Crossing Country Club Room. The
award was presented to the women's basketball organization for its
accomplishments in 2005 which brought national honor and
distinction to the University.
President Killebrew began the Silver Wave Award program as a way of
acknowledging the contribution of outstanding individuals or groups
that are models of excellence and encouragement to their fellow
students and or colleagues.
?The drive and commitment of the team headed by Coach Jodi Kest is
a testament to what can be accomplished when people work together,?
said Killebrew. ?This group of young women embodies the spirit of
A&M-Corpus Christi and has set the bar high for recipients to
follow.?
The women's team was chosen because of its successful best-ever
23-7 season, which made it eligible for the Women's National
Invitational Tournament. Coach Jodi Kest's team beat the Fresno
State Bulldogs 56-53 in the first round before bowing out in the
second round.
