Tusculum College is represented in this week's NCAA Division II Women's Basketball statistics report, through games of Sunday, March 6. Senior guard Jasmine Gunn is ranked 23rd in scoring average at 18.7 points per game, and senior center Catherine Hintz ranks 21st in field-goal percentage at 55.0 percent.

Hintz entered the rankings this week by reaching the statistical minimum of five made field goals per game, having connected on 132 shots in 26 games (5.08 per game). She ranks second in the SAC in field-goal percentage, and has shot 60 percent or better from the field 12 times. Her career average of 55.4 percent (324-for-585) is the second-best percentage in program history and would rank in the top 10 all-time in the SAC.
