I don't understand the confusion about this. Let's pretend it is an MVP for a second. Why wouldn't you give at least a courtesy bump to a Flyer who, strapped the team on her back and contributed greatly to multiple consecutive must win games? Is she not the most dangerous senior on the pitch in any given A10 game?
Moreover, it's not actually an MVP, not a popularity contest and "many higher performing girls" aren't going to be found on the list. It's to emphasize a student/leader/all around player that makes their team better.
Charlotte is also a .500 team, I don't recognize that player though perhaps I shouldn't have written her off as she is leading the poll. I don't see anyone from Butler or Princeton on this list, teams that no doubt have better seniors than most squads.
Duke has 16 wins yes, but the candidate has all of two of the game winners (12.5%). The Kiehlster IS deserving of at least consideration, even on an 8th place squad. And remember, SENIOR CLASS award nominees all contributed for four letter years. I voted, and you should too. Not to mention it's good for the conference. Need I say more?
