Tomora Young helped lead the Scarlet Knights to back-to-back NCAA Tournament berths, including a showing in the Elite Eight in 1999 and the Sweet Sixteen in 1998. The Red Bank, N.J. native, earned All-BIG EAST honors in three of her four season, including becoming RU's first-ever First Team All-BIG EAST award winner. Earning first team accolades as a junior in 1998, she was also a second team honoree as a senior in 1999 and third team recipient as a sophomore in 1997. In addition, Young was selected BIG EAST All-Tournament in 1998 and also named the Co-Player of the Year by the Metropolitan Writer's Association. A 5-10 guard, Young was one of the most efficient three-point shooters to wear the Scarlet. Young concluded her career with 1,344 career points in knocking down 180 shots from beyond the arc. In leading RU to the Sweet Sixteen of the NCAA Tournament in 1998, she set a single season record for three-point field goals made (71) and a Scarlet Knight best .901 clip from the free throw line.
