SAVANNAH HIGHT OF TEXAS LUTHERAN UNIVERSITY was named SCAC Defensive Player-of-the-Year.

Hight finished the regular season ranked in the top 10 in the conference in steals (61 – second), blocks (27 – sixth) and total rebounds (140 – ninth). Her seven steals against Centenary on Jan. 22 tied for the most in a single-game in the SCAC this season as the senior guard/forward has been ranked in the top five in the league in steals per game the last three seasons. She enters this weekend's conference tournament with 203 career steals. Hight is the first Texas Lutheran student-athlete to earn SCAC Women's Defensive Player-of-the-Year honors since the Bulldogs joined the league prior to the 2013-14 season.

Hight received seven votes in the balloting for the league's Defensive POTY award. Sophomore forward Madison Edwards of Southwestern University received the remaining first-place vote.
