Reigning SWAC Women's Basketball Player of the Week Christina Reed scored a career-high 31 points in leading Jackson State to a win over Alcorn State. That figure is the highest single-game scoring output by a Jackson State player this decade. After being held to a season-low four points versus Prairie View, Texas Southern's Joyce Kennerson looks to rebound - and reclaim the nation's lead in scoring -- against Jackson State and Grambling. She has averaged 22.6 points combined in her last four games against each team (eight total). Kennerson scores particularly well against Grambling, averaging 25.2 points a night in her last four outings againt GSU. Southern's Briana Green has been a handful in conference play, averaging 18.6 points and 7.5 rebounds on 52% shooting against SWAC opposition this year. No player has made more 2-point field goals (78) than Green has against league foes. Grambling State's Shakyla Hill is the only player in the nation averaging at least 14.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 5.0 steals per game while shooting at least 45 percent from the floor.

2 PRESEASON ALL-CONFERENCE AWARDS AND HONORS Shawntayla Harris rounds out the team at center. In the event that a player was named to the first team during the postseason and does not return, the second-team player for that position was elevated to the first team. Players were ranked in their position based on the number of votes received. PRESEASON PLAYER OF THE YEAR Shakyla Hill, Grambling State PRESEASON DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR Alexus Freeman, Alcorn State BIRMINGHAM, Ala. On the heels of its first Southwestern Athletic Conference women s basketball tournament championship in program history, Texas Southern has been selected as the preseason favorite to win the conference crown in the season in a poll of the league s head coaches and sports information directors. The announcement was made during the SWAC s annual tip-off media teleconference Wednesday morning. The Lady Tigers, who earned a share of the regular-season crown -- for the second-straight season -- alongside Grambling State thanks to identical 14-4 records in league play, posted a overall record on their way to the tournament championship. Texas Southern narrowly outpointed tournament finalist and co-regular season champion Grambling State in the predicted order of finish. Alabama State (120 points) was tabbed to finish third, with Southern (108 points) and Alcorn State (89 points) rounding out the top five. Slotted to finish sixth through 10th in the preseason prognostications were Prairie View A&M (73 points), Arkansas-Pine Bluff (66 points), Jackson State (63 points), Alabama A&M (34 points) Mississippi Valley State (32 points). Grambling State guard Shakyla Hill was chosen as the preseason Player of the Year after a sophomore season filled with stat-sheet stuffing performances. In guiding Grambling to the No. 1 seed in the SWAC Women s Basketball Tournament last season, Hill was the only player in the league to rank in the top five in scoring, rebounding, assists, steals and field goal percentage last year. Hill averaged 15 points a game to go with 7.8 boards per night, good for fifth and third in the conference ranks, respectively. The Little Rock, Ark. native led the league in assists (4.2), steals (3.0) and field goal percentage (48.2) last season. Alcorn State picked up the preseason Defensive Player of the Year selection for the second-straight season, as guard Alexus Freeman earned the nod. The SWAC Newcomer of the Year last season, Freeman -- who averaged a shade under 11 points a game to go with 5.6 boards and 3.3 assists -- finished second in the league steals per game (2.4) in anchoring one of the better team ball-hawking efforts in the conference last season, as Alcorn State finished third in team steals per game at 9.9 and in terms of league play, was second in the league in steals (10.2) and opponent field goal percentage from the three-point line (23.0). Texas Southern guard and 2017 SWAC Women s Basketball Tournament MVP Joyce Kennerson, who led the league in scoring at 18.3 points per game, joins Hill on the preseason first team along with Southern s Brianna Green and Texas Southern s Artavia Ford at the forward spots, and Alabama State s Tatyana Calhoun at center. The second team consists of Grambling State guards Jazmin Boyd and Monisha Neal along with Freeman. At forward, Texas Southern s Breasia McElrath, Prairie View s La Sha Haynes and Grambling s Jazmine Torian earned preseason All-SWAC considerations.
