TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – Redshirt junior Jordan Lewis was named the Southeastern Conference Player of the Week, the league office announced this morning.

The Tide's starting point guard averaged 16.5 points, six boards and 4.5 assists to propel Alabama to back-to-back SEC wins for the first time since 2018.

On Thursday, Lewis put in 16 points on an efficient 6-of-8 shooting, while tying a season high with eight rebounds to go with six assists in the 69-62 home victory over Florida. On Sunday in Starkville, Lewis poured in 17 points, including going a perfect 3-of-3 from beyond the arc. She also added four rebounds, three assists and two steals in the Tide's 66-64 buzzer-beating win over the Bulldogs. Lewis' performance willed the Tide to its first win in Starkville since 2011 and its first win over a top-10 team since 2014.
Lewis has led the Crimson Tide in scoring and assists all season as the Windermere, Fla., native is putting up 13.3 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.2 steals per game. She is currently No. 21 on Alabama's all-time scoring list with 1,121 career points and No. 7 in career assists at UA.
