Pac-10 Conference Honorees The Sun Devils return a trio of all-conference performers from one season ago, including senior center Melody Johnson and senior guard Amanda Levens who were named to the A l l - P a c - 1 0 Conference first team, marking the first time in school history that ASU has had two players earn first-team accolades. Arizona was the only other school to have two first-team selections last year. Freshman guard/forward Betsy Boardman was named to the five- player Freshman All-Pac-10 squad, marking the third consecutive season that the Sun Devils have had a player named to the all- rookie team. In addition, three Sun Devils earned Academic All- Pac-10 honors with junior Leah Combs becoming ASU’s first first- team selection since 1990. Head coach Charli Turner Thorne was named the 2001 Pac- 10 Conference Coach of the Year as selected by the league’s coaches, ASU’s first such honor, and was one of eight finalists for the 2001 Russell Athletic/WBCA Division I National Coach of the Year Award. As a finalist, Turner Thorne earned the distinction of WBCADistrict 8 Coach of the Year as selected by WBCAmember coaches from that geographical region.

Pac-10 Postseason Tournament A new era starts as the Pac-10 begins its first annual Women's Basketball Tournament on March 1-4, 2002, at McArthur Court on the campus of the University of Oregon, in Eugene, Oregon. The league’s Directors of Athletics and the Pac-10 Council approved the postseason tournament last fall. The Pac-10 postseason tour- nament will be a 10-team event which will be hosted by one of the Pac-10 members on its campus each year. A total of nine games will be played with the champion earning the conference’s auto- matic berth to the NCAA Tournament.

Head Coach Charli Turner Thorne Since Charli Turner Thorne took over the reins of the program in 1996-97, the Sun Devils have begun a steady climb back to the national prominence that the team enjoyed in the early 1990s. That climb culminated in 2000-01 when Turner Thorne’s Sun Devils captured ASU’s first Pac-10 Championship, an NCAA berth, a return to the national rankings and the team’s first 20-win season in nine years. The 2001 Pac-10 Coach of the Year and District 8 Regional Coach of the Year has improved the team’s wins total in each of her five seasons and guided ASU to five consecutive dou- ble-digit win seasons in as many years. In 1999-00, Turner Thorne led the Sun Devils to a 14-14 regular-season record and a 7-11 mark in the Pac-10 Conference, both of which marked the school’s most victories since 1992-93. Turner Thorne’s Sun Devils also earned the team’s first postseason appearance in eight seasons, falling to Colorado State 66-54 in Fort Collins, Colo., in the first round of the 2000 Women’s National Invitation Tournament. 2001-2002 ASU Women's Basketball Arizona State Combined Team Statistics (as of Dec 22, 2001) All games
