UCF women's basketball signee Aarika Judge, one of three prep standouts to sign National Letters of Intent (NLIs) to play collegiately for head coach Joi Williams and the Knights this fall, was recently named The Augusta Chronicle Georgia girls basketball player of the year.

Judge, a senior at Hephzibah High School, averaged 17.6 points per game this past season and tallied six rebounds, six assists and six steals per game. She also made 86 three-pointers in 2009-10.
