WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Shalicia Hurns has requested and been granted her release from the Purdue women's basketball team.

Hurns was suspended indefinitely from the team by head coach Kristy Curry on July 3. Hurns' reinstatement to the team was contingent upon meeting a list of conditions prepared by Curry.

"We wanted to do all we could to help Shalicia as a person and a player, which is our mission for all the student-athletes in this program," Curry said. "We regret that it has come to this, but we hope Shalicia can get things in order and get on the right track. We wish her the best of luck in her basketball career, but mostly wish her success in life."

Hurns, a 6-foot-3 forward from Indianapolis, Ind., averaged 9.3 points and a team-high 6.6 rebounds as a freshman for the 2001 Big Ten champion and NCAA runner-up Boilermakers.
