Neither Chelsea Dungee nor Destiny Slocum started their college basketball careers at the University of Arkansas, but they finished as Razorbacks and with a flourish.

Dungee earned first-team All-Southeastern Conference honors for the first time and was named All-SEC for the third time in her career. Slocum, a graduate transfer from Oregon State, was named second-team All-SEC and claimed postseason all-conference honors in the third different league.

Dungee, a 5-11 guard from Sapulpa, Okla., transferred from the University of Oklahoma after her freshman season and has been a key to the Razorbacks' rise over the past three seasons.

She saved her best for last, averaging a career-best 22.2 points per game to lead the SEC and shot a career best 43 percent from the floor and 39 percent from three-point range. The high-scoring guard came up big at key moments, too, dropping 37 in the Razorbacks' win over Connecticut and 38 two weeks ago against Ole Miss when Slocum wasn't available because of illness.

Slocum made a quick impact with the Razorbacks averaging 15.6 points and a team-best 4 assists per game. She also earned All-Pac 12 honors at Oregon State and was named All-Big 10 as a freshman at Maryland.

The 5-7 guard finished with 22 points and 10 assists to become the first Razorback player to go for 20 points and 10 assists in a game since Kimberly Wilson did it in 1996.
