MARSHALL, Texas (12/3/08) – ETBU junior forward Satara Harrell had a big weekend for the Lady Tigers on the road, and for that performance she has been named the American Southwest Conference East Division Co-Player of the Week. Harrell, a 5-9 transfer joining the Lady Tigers this season from Panola College, posted a monster double double in Saturday’s 50-37 win at Sul Ross State to open conference play. Harrell scored a team-high 23 points and added 21 rebounds in the win, just the third time that number of rebounds has been reached in an ASC game since the 2003-04 season. It was also the second time an ETBU player had reached 21 rebounds in a game as a member of the ASC, with Tiffany Jefferson accomplishing that feat against LeTourneau during the 2004-05 season. Harrell followed that performance with 13 points and 14 rebounds in a loss to defending national champion Howard Payne Monday. That performance gives her three double doubles in the team’s first four games of the year, with her only miss during that time a 9-point outing in the season opener against Belhaven. Harrell is the ASC’s leading rebounder entering this week, averaging 14.8 boards per game. The Lady Tigers will host Mary Hardin-Baylor in the opener of a two-game homestand Saturday at 1 p.m. in Ornelas Gymnasium.
