JACKSONVILLE, Ill.- Illinois College women's basketball team on Feb. 8 will honor hall of famer
Adrienne Dickerson Range '03, who recently passed away after a valiant battle with cancer.
Range was a 2003 graduate of Illinois College and was a four-year starter and three-year captain for the Lady Blues basketball team. Range was named First Team All-MWC three times and won the Hopper Award twice as IC's top female student-athlete of the year. Her exceptional athletic career led to an induction into the IC Athletics Hall of Fame in 2016.
Range is still listed in multiple categories of the women's basketball record book at Illinois College. She currently ranks fifth in career points with 1,227, fifth in career assists with 300 and seventh in career steals with 170.
After Illinois College, she continued her education, earning a master's degree from the University of St. Joseph.

The Illinois College and Chatham communities extend their love and support to the Range family during this difficult time.
