Ta'Shia Phillips, the two-time Atlantic 10 Defensive Player of the Year, was the 2008-09 A-10 Player of the Year. Phillips was selected as a 2010 and 2011 State Farm Honorable Mention All-American by the Women's Basketball Coaches Association before being drafted eighth overall in the 2011 WNBA Draft.
Phillips finished second in the country in rebounding (12.4 rpg.) and third in field goal percentage (.605) in 2010-11 after finishing fourth in both rebounds per game (11.7) and field goal percentage (.621) for the two prior seasons (2008-09, 2009-10).
Phillips, XU's all-time leading rebounder with 1,552 career boards, notched 77 career double-doubles and scored in double-figures in 103 out of 131 career games played. She led the league in rebounds per game for four consecutive years, earning a spot on the Atlantic 10 All-Defensive Team for the three consecutive seasons. Phillips was honored as an All-District I pick by the WBCA in 2009, 2010 and 2011, and earned All Atlantic-10 First Team honors in each of her last three seasons.
