ST. LOUIS - Saint Louis head women's basketball coach Shimmy Gray-Miller announced today that forward Maggie Hennegan (Cincinnati, Ohio/St. Ursula), who played for the Billikens the past two seasons, has decided to transfer to another institution.

"Although I am disappointed and sad about losing Maggie, I am supportive of her decision to be closer to her family," Gray-Miller said. "She will be a successful student-athlete wherever she goes. Maggie did a great job for us, and we wish her nothing but the best."

Hennegan averaged 9.4 points and 6.4 rebounds in her 57-game Billiken career. In 27 games (16 starts) as a sophomore she averaged 8.2 points and 5.4 rebounds, shot 48.5 percent from the floor and sank 75.6 percent of her free-throw attempts. In Atlantic 10 Conference games only, she was fourth in the league in free-throw shooting with an 86.7-percent success rate.

Hennegan was the only Billiken to start all 30 games in 2006-07, her freshman campaign. She averaged 10.5 points, and her 7.4 rebounding average led the team and ranked ninth in the A-10. A two-time A-10 co-Rookie of the Week, Hennegan's 3.23 offensive-rebounding average that season was second in the conference.
