LISLE, Ill. -- Benedictine University women's basketball standout Tamika Curtis (Bellwood, Ill./Nazareth Academy) has been named to the D3Hoops.com National "Team of the Week" for the period of February 4-10, 2008. It is the third time this season that Curtis has been so honored on the national level.
