NORFOLK, Va. -- Head coach Karen Barefoot and the Old Dominion women's basketball program named seniors Jennie Simms and Destinee Young as team captains on Tuesday.

Both Simms and Young are now captains for the second consecutive season after serving as captains, along with the now-graduated LaQuanda Younger, last year.

Simms, a redshirt senior guard from Accokeek, Maryland, is a two-time All-Conference USA selection and is the seventh leading returning scorer in the nation after posting a 21.4 points per game average last season. Simms, who scored her 1,000th point last season, was ODU's lone representative on the C-USA Preseason All-Conference squad.
