Jaddan Simmons and Skinner, who was one of the Nation’s top scorers (19.3 ppg), both earned All-Pac 12 honors by the league’s head coaches.  Skinner was also named to the media’s 15-member All-Conference team.

Murray was the first player in the program’s Division II era to earn All-Region and All-America accolades and the first in program history to sign a professional basketball contract.   Making an immediate impact with the women’s program, Mosley eclipsed the 50-win mark following a 17-14 record in the 2018-19 season. Guiding the Lions to a third-place finish and a victory in the conference tournament in their first season, Mosley’s teams were contenders in the CIAA year after year with several wins over nationally ranked teams and three Division I programs.   Prior to being named the head coach at Lincoln, Mosley served as an assistant coach on the Lions’ men’s basketball staff at his alma mater for five seasons where he played a vital role in the team’s turnaround of success.
