It marks the second time this season Hubenak has been elected a SCAC Player of the Week. Hubenak played a major role in the Tigers' weekend home SCAC victories over Birmingham-Southern (65-55) and Rhodes (92-86, overtime).

Hubenak averaged 15.5 points, 5.0 assists, and 5.0 rebounds per game over the two games, shooting 53.3 percent (8-15) from the field and 80 percent (8-10) from the foul line.  She also sank an impressive 77.8 percent (7-9) from beyond the arc.

 For the season, Hubenak is averaging 12.7 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 4.2 assists per game (80 total).
