HUNTINGTON, W.Va. – Marshall sophomore guard Savannah Wheeler was one of eight players to earn a nod on the 2021-22 Preseason All-Conference USA team, the league announced Wednesday afternoon.
The 5'6" Wheeler, a second-team postseason all-league pick a year ago, was the Thundering Herd's leading scorer at 17 points per game. That figure was good for the conference's sixth-highest average. She started all 19 games for Marshall last season and made a team-high 36 3-pointers. On the year, she was deadly at the free throw line, connecting on 87.5 percent in league-only tilts, which was the top mark in C-USA (third in all games at 85.3).
She also tied for eighth in the conference last year with seven 20+ point scoring efforts.
The Thundering Herd tips off its 2021-22 season with a Tuesday, November 9 home date with Bluefield State inside the Cam Henderson Center.
