The Women's Basketball Hall of Fame has recognized former Cincinnati State forward Cameron Vaughn for her outstanding achievements while playing for the Surge last season

Vaughn, who will play her junior season at Praire View A&M next season, averaged 13.8 points, 13.7 rebounds and 1.9 steals per game in 2012-2013. The 5'10 forward from Xenia, OH finished with 10 or more rebounds in all but five games, recording a season-high 25 rebounds against Columbus State on Jan. 23. She finished the season 6th in the nation in rebounding, 1st in offensive rebounds (6.6), and set Cincinnati State's record for most rebounds in a season with 412.

Vaughn's No. 20 jersey is currently being displayed in the Hall's "Ring of Honor," which includes over 100 jerseys from this past season's high school and college All-Americans.
"The Ring of Honor is our way of recognizing young basketball players for their achievements in the sports," said Women's Basketball Hall of Fame Director Josh Sullivan. "Cameron Vaughn is now part of an elite group and is now part of our history as well."
While at Cincinnati State, Vaughn was named an NJCAA All-American, the OCCAC "Player of the Year" and was a Region XII 1st Team selection.
