The Sharks’ Canadian forward was one of three SSC representatives to be featured

JACKSON, Tenn. – In addition to earning All-SSC First Team honors, graduating forward Jordan Tully has added another award to her resume after being named to the Division II Conference Commissioners Association (D2CCA) All-Region Second Team. The announcement included a combination of 11 players from the Gulf South Conference (GSC), the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SIAC), and the Sunshine State Conference (SSC), as voted on by the sports information directors from each league.

Tully was joined by Tampa’s LaShayla Wright-Ponder on the All-South Region Second Team, while her Spartan teammate, Dori Nagy, highlighted the First-Team as she was named the South Region Player of the Year.

Tully shined in the paint for NSU as she led the SSC in scoring from start to finish, ending the season averaging an SSC-best 18.1 points per game, in addition to a 4.6 rebounds per game average. The Winnipeg, Manitoba native started all 28 games played for the Sharks, scoring double-figures in 26 of those, while converting nearly 55 percent of her shots – fourth-best in the conference. Tully also scored 20-plus points in 12 games this season, including 14 games with at least five rebounds. In her two years with NSU, the Canadian finished with 766 points and 217 rebounds, while shooting 56.6 percent (183-334 FG) in her career from the field. She also tallied 73 blocked shots the past two seasons, including a conference-high 44 (1.6/game) in 2019-20. NSU led the conference in blocked shots this season with 100, and Tully nearly accounted for nerly half of that total, logging 44.

This marks the fourth honor Tully has received for the 2019-20 season, as she had been awarded the SSC Defensive Player of the Week on Dec. 23, Player of the Week on Jan. 20 and All-SSC First-Team on Mar. 4.
