ATHENS, GA. — Georgia’s Tasha Humphrey was tabbed SEC Player of the Week on Monday by the league office in Birmingham, a day after she posted game-high tallies of 22 points, 14 rebounds and four assists in the Lady Bulldogs’ win over Auburn.

Humphrey, a 6-3, senior from Gainesville, Ga., equaled her season-best totals for rebounds and assists in the victory, Georgia’s only game last week. She sealed the win with consecutive field goals at the 2:08 and 1:25 marks in the contest after Auburn had trimmed a 21-point lead with 9:07 remaining all the way down to six points.

During the contest, Humphrey moved past both Kelly Miller and Katrina McClain into the No. 2 position among Georgia’s career scoring leaders with 2,199 points. She also inched into the No. 8 spot among the Lady Dogs’ career leaders for games started with 116.

Humphrey has now posted double-doubles in each of the Lady Bulldogs’ last four games, averaging 21.3 points and 11.8 rebounds during that span. For the season, she leads Georgia in scoring and rebounding with averages of 17.7 ppg and 9.2 rpg. In SEC play, Humphrey is averaging 19.4 ppg.

Humphrey has now been named SEC Player of the Week eight times during her career, the most by any Georgia player and one shy of the league record shared by Sylvia Fowles of LSU, Candace Parker of Tennessee and Armintie Price of Ole Miss.
