Ka-Deidre Simmons '15, from right down the road in Newark, led Seton Hall women's basketball back into national prominence, guiding the Pirates to a national ranking and the program's first NCAA Tournament appearance in 20 years in 2015. She is the school's all-time leader in assists (562) and free throws made (502), third in points (1,717) and second in steals (257). Her 2015 season is one of the best in school history with averages of 17.0 points, 5.7 assists and 2.2 steals as the Pirates won the BIG EAST co-regular season championship and earned an NCAA Tournament at-large bid. She was a 2015 Associated Press All-America honorable mention, two-time All-BIG EAST first team pick and the 2015 Met Writers Women's Basketball Player of the Year.
