FOREST, Va. --- Guilford College forward Gabby Oglesby headlines the 2012 All-ODAC Women's Basketball Team as the Quakers' sophomore was tabbed the ODAC Player of the Year in a vote of the league's coaches.  Virginia Wesleyan College took home two major awards as head coach Stephany Dunmyer was named the ODAC Coach of the Year and freshman guard Sarah Seipp earned the ODAC Rookie of the Year accolades.  Washington and Lee University forward Becca Bolton was selected as the 2012 ODAC/Farm Bureau Insurance Scholar-Athlete of the Year.

Hailing from Winston-Salem, N.C., Oglesby has become an imposing figure in the post in just her second year at Guilford.  Heading into the ODAC Women's Basketball Tournament, Oglesby is fourth in the league in scoring at 14.7 points per game and sixth in rebounding at 7.7 boards per contest.  She's efficient at the offensive end, currently ranking third in field goal percentage (50.9 % on 144-of-283 shooting), but she makes her headlines on the defensive end as the leads the ODAC in blocked shots with 59.  Oglesby has already become the career blocked shots leader in Guilford history with 118 rejections in her first 52 games.  She is the first Quakers' player of the year since Arden Smith in 2000.

Dunmyer's top coaching accolade marks the third of her career, having previously won the award in 2006 and 2008.  Now in her ninth year at VWC, Dunmyer led her team to 20 wins this season and tied the school record for most ODAC victories (17).  She has won 144 career games to-date, and leads her top-seeded Marlins in search of their first-ever ODAC title. 
 
Seipp has made an immediate impact for the Marlins this season.  The Gaithersburg, Md. native is currently pouring in 14.8 points per game, which is tied for the third-best effort in the conference.  Seipp has scored double digits in 22 games, including the last 18-straight, and has recorded a season-high 27 points on two different occasions.  She is also third in the league in steals (66) and free throws made (96).
 
Bolton's recognition as the league's top-scholar-athlete marks the second-straight for the senior at Washington and Lee.  The Pittsboro, N.C. native sports a 3.685 grade point average as a Biology and Environmental Studies major.  On the court, Bolton is recording 14.2 points and 9.2 rebounds per outing, which is second-best in the conference.  She has scored in double digits in 22 games and leads the league with 11 double-doubles.
