ONEONTA – The NCAA announced Friday that 480 female student athletes have been nominated for the prestigious NCAA Woman of the Year award - the most ever for the honor - now in its 25th year.

Of the nominees, 207 competed in Division I, 93 competed in Division II and 180 competed in Division III athletics. Included on the list of Division III nominees is SUNY Oneonta graduate Andrea Day (Greene H.S./Greene), who was a four-year member of the field hockey team.

The Woman of the Year award honors graduating female college athletes who have exhausted their eligibility and distinguished themselves throughout their collegiate careers in academics, athletics, service, and leadership.

Day certainly distinguished herself as a student athlete during her collegiate career in all the areas that the award is about.
