 SMITHFIELD, R.I. - The past decade of Bryant University women's basketball saw many memorable individual and team highlights. During the intermission of Bryant's January 30 game with Monmouth University, head coach Mary Burke will unveil and introduce the 11-member All-Decade Team, many of whom will be present for the halftime ceremony.

The past decade saw the Bulldogs average 16 wins per season and qualify for seven postseason tournaments, including three NCAA tournament appearances. Seven players have reached the 1,000-point plateau since the 1999-2000 season and many are expected to be named to the All-Decade Team on the Jan. 30.

The Bulldogs opened the decade with an 11-win season, earning a spot in the Northeast-10 Conference tournament. The team entered the final year of the decade with an 11-win season, the program's first competing at the Division I level.
