Ticha Penicheiro's playing style was one of a unique mixture of panache and
skill which earned her many a fan in the Hampton Roads area as she led the Lady Monarchs to the 1997 NCAA championship game. During her career at ODU, she collected 1,304 points, finished her career as ODU's all-time steal leader with 591, and
second all-time assist leader with 939.
The two-time Kodak All-American became ODU's second winner of the prestigious Lifetime/Wade Trophy and the first international player to win this honor.
A four-time All-CAA honoree, Penicheiro was named the CAA's Player of the Year
twice as well as the Rookie of the Year. Ticha is a member of the WNBA's Sacramento
Monarchs, which captured the 2005 WNBA championship. She is a four-time WNBA All-Star and two-time WNBA first team selection.
