ASHEVILLE, N.C. -- Furman graduate guard Tate Walters and senior forward Jada Session have been named to the 2025 Women's Basketball Southern Conference All-Tournament Team, the league announced today following the completion of Sunday's championship game.

Both players were second team selections.

Walters scored a combined 29 points in the Paladins' two tournament contests, including 10 points in a 64-58 quarterfinal round win over East Tennessee State and 19 in Friday's 63-55 loss to Chattanooga. Session, meanwhile, tallied a double-double with 13 points and 11 rebounds in the victory over ETSU, while tallying seven points and 10 rebounds versus Chattanooga.

The all-tournament scroll was the third for Walters, who landed first team honors in 2022 and second team laurels in 2024.  Session's pick was the first of her career.

Walters, a 5-foot-9, Buford, Ga., product, paced Furman in scoring (12.5 ppg) and assists (119) this season and fashioned a stellar Paladin tenure, finishing with 1,268 points, good for 14th in program history, and with 453 assists, which ranks second all-time at Furman.

She twice earned All-SoCon honors and was a multiple SoCon Academic Honor Roll and SoCon All-Academic Team selection, as well as a College   In addition, she captured the league's Ann Lashley Inspiration Award in 2024 and successfully battling back from a torn Achilles tendon injury that sidelined her for the 2022-23 campaign.

Session, a 6-foot-1 native of Locust Grove, Ga., also enjoyed a solid career as a Paladin, scoring 902 points and claiming 677 rebounds — the 10th most caroms in Furman history. A 2023-24 All-SoCon pick, she missed the first 10 games of the 2024-25 season due to injury but proved to be a major contributor upon her return, averaging 10.4 points and 6.6 rebounds per game over the Paladins' final 22 contests.

Walters earned her undergraduate degree in communications from Furman in the spring of 2023 and will soon be accorded a master's degree in strategic design.  Session is a psychology major who will graduate this spring.
