SAVANNAH HIGHT OF TEXAS LUTHERAN UNIVERSITY, a freshman guard/forward from San Antonio, Texas, has been selected as the SCAC Women’s Basketball Player-of-the-Week for games played from Monday, February 10th through Sunday, February 16th.

Hight averaged 13.5 points and 5.0 rebounds during a 2-0 week and hit what proved to be the winning shot in a comeback victory over Trinity University. 

Hight scored 15 points against Trinity as TLU rallied to win from 21 down. Hight’s jumper in the lane, with 1:12 to play in the game, gave TLU its first lead of the game. She added six rebounds against the Tigers.

Against Southwestern, Hight hit a pair of three-pointers and scored 12 points with four rebounds, two assists and two blocks.

With the wins, Texas Lutheran has clinched the No. 1 seed in the SCAC Women’s Basketball Tournament on February 28th in San Antonio, Texas in only their first season in the league. The Bulldogs were only 8-17 a year ago and are not on the verge of a 20 win season.
