Patrice Holmes’ list of achievements at MT is a mind-boggling listing of stellar performances from the first day to her last. For starters, she was pegged as the Sun Belt Conference’s Freshman of the Year 2002. On the heels of that honor, this Blue Raider also earned her first of four (2002, 2003, 2004, 2005) All-Sun Belt Conference team selections!
That freshman year was just a small indication of what was to come, as Holmes went on to be the Sun Belt’s premier player, earning the Most Outstanding Player award in her sophomore, junior and senior campaigns (2003, 2004, and 2005).
Unlike some prolific scorers who lack intensity on the defensive end of the court, Holmes distinguished herself with conference’s Defensive Player of the Year honor in 2003 and 2005. She was the complete player, for certain.
She led the team to three appearances in the NCAA basketball tournament in her four years at Middle Tennessee.
