She has one season remaining with 91ÁÔÆæ, during which she will begin work on a master's degree in kinesiology.

"Being nominated for this award is such an honor. Basketball has been such a huge part of my life for so long, and as I come to my final chapter with this nomination, it means a lot," Sutton said.

This past season, the forward scored her 1,000th career point and pulled down her 500th career rebound.

"I feel very blessed and honored to coach a student-athlete like Julianne. Her awards speak for themselves," said , 91ÁÔÆæ women's basketball head coach. "However, her big heart and selfless spirit have played such a huge role as a leader in our program. She gets my vote."
