Indianapolis, IN - Standout sophomore Brooke Quarles-Daniels is projected to follow up her stellar freshman campaign as she was just named to the 2023-24 #HLWBB Preseason All-League First Team.
 
The star point guard had an exceptional freshman year, earning Second Team All-Horizon League honoree, Horizon League All-Freshman Team, and became the first ever OU player to be named Horizon League freshman of the Year.
 
She led the Horizon League in SPG (2.1), ranked ninth in APG (2.9), and 11th in PPG (12.1) last season.
 
Quarles-Daniels is coming off a stellar season full of highlight plays and career high performances, including a career-high 21-point performance on the road in a victory over Wright State on Feb. 23 and a near triple-double in a home victory over Northern Kentucky where she tallied 20 points, 18 rebounds, and seven assists.
 
Not only did she show out with big performances, but she is a model of consistency for this Oakland team. Quarles-Daniels played in all 30 of the team's games, starting the final 25 where she scored in double-digits 21 times and notched four double-doubles.
 
"I'm really happy to see Brooke getting the recognition she deserves," said Oakland Women's Basketball Head Coach Jeff Tungate. "She has worked extremely hard this off-season to solidify her position as one of the top players in the Horizon League."
 
In what hopes to be another breakout season, Quarles-Daniels looks to help Oakland jump up the conference rankings as the 2023-24 Under Armour  #HLWBB Preseason Poll places Oakland in eighth place with 53 points.
 
Wright State sits just above Oakland in the seventh spot with 54 points while Green Bay sits atop the conference with 121 points and all 11 first place votes.
