SHERMAN, Texas - Austin College Athletics is excited to announce the Modern Woodmen Fraternal Financial Student-Athlete of the Week, an award highlighting our great student-athletes on and off the field of play each week. This week's honoree is 'Roo women's basketball player Natalie McCoy.

McCoy, a sophomore from San Antonio, was named the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference Tournament Most Valuable Player after averaging 20.5 points in a pair of games to help the 'Roos capture the first SCAC tournament title in program history. McCoy poured in 25 points in a semifinal victory over Southwestern, and followed that up with a 16-point performance in the championship win over Trinity University to help propel the 'Roos to their first NCAA Tournament appearance since 1999.
