HAMPTON, Va. -- The NCAA Division I women's basketball based website LadySwish announced its All-Decade team over the weekend and a pair of Hampton Lady Pirates were recognized.

Head coach David Six was named the Coach of the Decade, while alumn Jericka Jenkins (2012) was named to the ten-player honor squad.

Created in October of 2009, LadySwish is a blog dedicated to Division I basketball in the Commonwealth of Virginia.  The blog was founded by Vicki Friedman and Paul White and is the first All-Decade Team released by the media entity.

Under his tutelage, Six's Hampton squads advanced to six NCAA Tournaments as winners of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference.  In the 2014 NCAA Tournament, the Lady Pirates were a 12-seed which was the highest in school history. They were a 13-seed in the 2011 NCAA Tournament where they took fourth-seeded Kentucky into overtime before losing.

In Six's tenure, defense has always been a calling card.  Highlighted in the 2012-13 season when his Lady Pirates led all of NCAA Division I in scoring defense, holding opponents to 47.8 points per game.  The Lady Pirates ranked in the top 50 in scoring defense in each of his first six seasons. 

Another calling card for Hampton has been its mark against the "Power 5" where his teams have won 12 games in his tenure. In his time at Hampton, his Lady Pirates have knocked off Florida, Pittsburgh, Boston College (twice), Mississippi State, LSU, Kansas State, Virginia Tech, Auburn, Wake Forest, North Carolina and Alabama.

Jenkins, currently a graduate assistant at Texas State, was the national runner-up in assists as a junior and fifth as a senior.  A four-year starter for Hampton, she was named first-team All-MEAC twice and was an Associated Press Honorable Mention All-American after the 2010-11 season.  That made her the first HU player in the Division I era to earn that honor, and she was named the Hampton University Female Student-Athlete of the Year after her final two years.

She finished her career record holder in free throw percentage (.833), second in assists (620), tenth in steals (234) and scored 1,385 points.
