Rutgers women’s basketball: Destiny Adams named All-Big Ten
In her first season with Rutgers women’s basketball, Destiny Adams was named an All-Big Ten selection.
The Rutgers forward, a summer transfer from North Carolina, was named All-Big Ten second team on Tuesday. She averaged 15.1 points and 7.4 rebounds per game.
For Adams, who played a shade under 30 minutes a game, her scoring and rebounding numbers were both career-highs. It was an impressive output from Adams, who routinely faced double-teams.
She was also an impressive 50.1 percent from the floor this past season which was another career high. Adams was selected All-Big Ten by the conference’s coaches.

Rutgers faces Minnesota on Wednesday in the opening round of the Big Ten Tournament.
It has not been an easy season for Rutgers women’s basketball, who went 8-23 (2-16 Big Ten). They’ve lost their last four games.
Injuries and an overall lack of depth made this a difficult year for the Scarlet Knights, in what was their second season of a rebuild under head coach Coquese Washington.
