The RU women's basketball team had a pair of players recognized on Friday morning when the Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference announced its 2020-21 All-NACC Teams. Naynay Clark was named NACC South Division Honorable Mention in her first season as a Regent, and Neve Yerk was selected NACC South Division Honorable Mention for the first time in her career.
