Myjoi Adams was named the Most Improved Player as head coach Sean Knorr lauded her on-ball defensive skills and growth as a team-first defender. She broke into the Bobcats lineup just prior to the 14-game win streak that carried them through to the end of the regular season.

Kearah Henry earned the Bobcats Newcomer of the Year Award after a mid-season transfer brought her to Rochester. Her infectious energy rubbed off in the locker room and her on-court contributions included a team leading three point percentage.

The Bobcats’ bench play was pivotal to their 14-game winning streak and rise up the USCAA Coaches Poll. Third-Team All American Chevaneese Milington was determined to be the Bobcats best player coming off the bench, winning the 6th Man Award for 2019-20.

Coach Knorr also named Sheila Hawks the Bobcat Award for Sportsmanship as she exhibited leadership skills on and off the court. Hawkes played with respect for her opponents and displayed heart and determination in balancing family, school and basketball.

“I am so proud of every girl on this roster, they all contributed to this team in one way or another,”: Knorr said. “From helping each other on and off the court.  I would not have wanted to coach another team.  At the end, I really feel that they started to bond like a family.  They all have been adopted by the school and community and we can only hope that they stay in Rochester when school is over to start their own family and give back one day.”
