FRISCO– Texas A&M University-Commerce basketball players
Princess Davis and
Chania Wright have earned All-Lone Star Conference honors at the league's annual basketball awards banquet, held Wednesday. Davis earned Second Team All-LSC honors while Wright was named Third Team All-LSC.
Davis– a redshirt senior from Shreveport, La.– earns her third LSC All-Conference award, after being named Third Team All-LSC as a redshirt junior and Honorable Mention All-LSC honors as a sophomore. The Lion point guard climbed the Lion all-time leader board as every game passed. She became the program's all-time minutes leader and the leader in games started. In the first game of the LSC Tournament, she will also tie the program record for most games played. Davis also ranks second in program history in assists and third in points scored.
In her senior campaign, Davis led the Lions in scoring and assists, averaging 4.7 dishes per game, the second most in the LSC. She played in all 28 games for the Lions in the regular season, averaging 13.1 points and 4.7 assists per game. She helped lead the Lion offense to average better than 75 points per game, which ranked third in the LSC. Davis scored in double figures in 21 different games, including reaching the 20 point mark three times. She also had 12 games with at least five assists, including two double-double 10-assist nights. She also led the team in free throw attempts.
Wright– a sophomore from DeSoto– made an immediate impact in her first season with the Lions. The sharpshooter finished fourth in the LSC with 59 three-pointers made. She shot 36 percent from beyond the arc. Wright led the team with 23 games scoring in double figures, including twice reaching the 20-point mark. She led the team in field goals made, finished second on the team in minutes played and finished third on the team in both assists and steals. This is the first All-LSC award of her career.
Davis, Wright and the Lions finished the regular season tied for third place in the LSC standings. Due to tiebreakers, the Lions are the fifth seed in the LSC Championship tournament and will face fourth-seed Eastern New Mexico in the quarterfinal round on Friday. The game will be played at 8:30 p.m. at the Comerica Center in Frisco.
