Senior Dana Wynne of Seton Hall was named the 1996-97 All-Met Division I Women's Player of the Year by the Met Basketball Writers Association on Monday, April 28, at the 64th NIT/MBWA Haggerty Awards dinner at the Giants Stadium Club in East Rutherford, NJ.

A four-time All-Big East honoree and three-time Kodak All-America Honorable Mention, Wynne helped lead Seton Hall to the NCAA Tournament in 1995 following the squad's run to the Sweet Sixteen in 1994.

In 1996, the 6-1 forward led the nation in rebounding with a 12.8 average, helping lead the Pirates to a Big East regular-season title. At the time of her induction to the Seton Hall Hall of Fame, she was the all-time leader in the Big East Conference in rebounds (1,265). Wynne was also fourth all-time at The Hall in points (1,622), first in free throws made (391) and third in blocked shots (138).

Wynne went on to enjoy a successful pro career first for the Colorado Xplosion, then the WNBA's Sacramento Monarchs and then overseas.
