    WBCA Announces Top 21 Candidates for the 2004 State Farm Wade Trophy ATLANTA, Ga. (February 17, 2004) -- With only a few weeks remaining in the regular season, the State Farm Wade Trophy Committee along with the Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) and the National Association for Girls and Women in Sport (NAGWS) today announced the top 21 candidates in contention for The State Farm Wade Trophy. Featured among the group of 21, include 2003 State Farm Wade Trophy winner, Diana Taurasi (Connecticut). Other highlighted candidates are Duke's Alana Beard, Texas trio Jamie Carey, Heather Schreiber and Stacy Stephens, Penn State's Kelly Mazzante, Stanford's Nicole Powell, and dynamic duos out of Kansas State, Nicole Ohlde and Kendra Wecker, and Minnesota's Janel McCarville and Lindsay Whalen. "All 21 candidates deserve this recognition, having made outstanding contributions to their respective teams and conferences," said WBCA CEO, Beth Bass. "Any player selected from this awesome group of talent would be an excellent representative of Lily Margaret Wade and The State Farm Wade Trophy." Although 21 players have been recognized, other players are still eligible to be considered for the State Farm Wade Trophy. One player that was not a State Farm Wade Trophy Preseason Candidate and has been added to the list for her outstanding performance this season is the University of Florida's Vanessa Hayden. The candidates were selected by a vote of committee members comprised of leading basketball coaches, journalists, and basketball administrators. Members of the committee will select the winner of The State Farm Wade Trophy from the 10-member Kodak All-America Team and will be announced during the WBCA National Convention, April 3-6, New Orleans, LA.
