COLUMBIA, KY - Three former greats will be inducted into the Lindsey Wilson College Athletic Hall of Fame on Saturday, February 6, 2010.

"We are incredibly excited to welcome these three outstanding former student-athletes into the Lindsey Wilson College Athletics Hall of Fame," LWC Athletics Director Willis Pooler said. "This is highest honor a former Lindsey Wilson student-athlete, coach or administrator can receive. Tonya, Joey and Benji have earned this honor and we congratulate them on their upcoming induction."

Feese is the third women's basketball player, Talley is the second baseball player and Djeukeng is the seventh soccer player or coach to be inducted into the Hall of Fame.

The 2010 class will be inducted in a ceremony at Roberta D. Cranmer Dining & Conference Center, 430 Helen Flatt DR, Columbia, KY, at 6:15pmCT on Saturday, February 6, 2010.

Tonya Feese (1989-93) is the only women's basketball player in the history of the program to record more than 900 points and 600 assists.

She enters the Lindsey Wilson College Athletics Hall of Fame as the women's basketball program's all-time leader with 630 career assists. Her 221 assists during the 1992-93 season is still a single-season record.

During her four seasons, Feese earned Kentucky Intercollegiate Athletic Conference honors three times. Over her career, Feese scored 903 points. That ranks 13th all-time. She recorded 278 rebounds. She finished hitting 45.3 percent of her shots, including nearly 39 percent from beyond the three-point arc.

Feese helped the Blue Raiders to a 78-41 record during her career, including the 1990-91 KIAC championship.

Joey Talley (1996-98) is the baseball program's all-time leader in wins and complete games.

He concluded his three-year career with a 22-10 record, including 19 complete games. Talley also posted an impressive 3.91 earned run average over his career playing at one of the smallest ball parks in the region.

Talley earned Kentucky Intercollegiate Athletic Conference honors in each of his three seasons and helped the Blue Raiders to three consecutive regional tournament appearances. Talley's 10 wins in 1996 are the third most wins in a single season and his 2.66 ERA during the same season ranks sixth all-time for one season.

During his career, Talley helped the Blue Raiders to a 90-66 record, including a pair of KIAC regular season titles.

Benjamin Djeukeng (1996-99) is one of three men's soccer players in the program's history to be named a four-time NAIA All-American.

He was named First-Team All-American in 1996 and 1999 and Second-Team All-American in 1997 and 1998. Djeukeng earned Kentucky Intercollegiate Athletic Conference honors in each of his three seasons, including Player of the Year in 1999.

Djeukeng helped the Blue Raiders to an 89-10-3 record during his career, including three NAIA National Championships. In 1998, Djeukeng helped the Blue Raiders to the program's only perfect season (25-0-0).

He concluded his career with 21 goals and 35 assists. Djeukeng ranks fourth in the program's all-time history in assists and third all-time with 95 games played.
