RICHARDSON– Texas A&M University-Commerce point guard Princess Davis has been named the Lone Star Conference Defensive Player of the Week. The award was announced by the conference office on Tuesday.
 
Davis– a redshirt senior from Shreveport, La.– was a pickpocket for the Lions, recording six steals in the team's overtime win over St. Edward's on Friday. She was clutch down the stretch for the Lions, snatching two steals in the overtime period and making all four of her free throws to close out the game and keep the Lions ahead in OT. She scored 16 points overall in the contest, including 10 free throws and had four assists. In the game, Davis became the 13th player in program history to reach 1,000 career points. Davis also moved into second place in program history in assists, fourth in free throws, fourth in career minutes played and ninth in career steals, all in the same game.
 
Davis and the Lions return to action on Tuesday against St. Mary's. The game will be played at 6 p.m. at The Field House in Commerce.
