Dee Liles = national champion

This time next year, Dee Liles will probably have just played in her first NCAA women’s tournament game for Maryland.

But this weekend, Liles capped off her junior college career in the best way possible.

The 2008 Terps women’s commitment led her Gulf Coast (Fla.) Community College squad to a 62-61 win over Central Arizona in the National Junior College Athletic Association national championship game.

Liles had 11 points, 10 rebounds, four steals, two blocks and two assists in the Commodores’ win.

After earning Women’s Basketball Coaches Association Junior College/Community College (JC/CC) Player of the Year honors last week, Liles was named MVP of the NJCAA tournament. Liles averaged 12.8 points, 11.3 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.5 blocks and 1.5 steals during the four-game tournament.

Gulf Coast finished its season 36-1. The NJCAA title was the program’s first since 2003.
