Trinity's Jana Tucker Named SCAC Women's Basketball Player of the Week

San Antonio -- Trinity University Tigers sophomore post Jana Tucker (Katy, Texas/Seven Lakes) has been selected as the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference Women's Basketball Player of the Week.
 
Tucker led the Tigers to a 71-62 non-conference victory at the University of Dallas last week, snapping Trinity's five-game losing streak.
 
The 5-foot-10 Tucker registered her first double-double of the season, by scoring 13 points and pulling down 19 rebounds. Tucker's 19-rebounds performance ties her for 10th in the Trinity record books for a single game. She shot 4-9 from the field and 4-5 from the charity stripe, and also made three steals in 33 minutes of playing time.
 
An impressive stat is that Tucker scored all of her 13 points in the second half, as well as grabbing 12 of the rebounds.
 
Tucker is third on the team in scoring (8.6 points per game), and leads the Tigers with 8.0 rebounds per contest. She is shooting 31.7 percent (20-63) from the field, is tied for third in Tigers steals, with 13.
 
The Tigers (2-5, 0-1 SCAC) return home Dec. 28-29 to host the Trinity Christmas Classic. Trinity takes on East Texas Baptist at noon Dec. 28, and Hardin-Simmons at 2 p.m. Dec. 29.
