Titus Named SoCon Player of the Week

SPARTANBURG, S.C. – Mercer senior Shannon Titus was named the Southern Conference Women's Basketball Player of the Week, presented by GEICO, the conference announced Tuesday afternoon.

Titus earned her second weekly honors from the conference and first this season. Her other recognition came on Jan. 29, 2019 during her sophomore campaign.

Titus led the Bears to a pair of thrilling victories over Wofford last weekend, averaging 24.5 points and 12.0 rebounds per game. The Johns Creek, Ga., native went for 22 points and a career-high 15 rebounds in Friday's game against the Terriers for her first 20/15 double-double. It was the 10th double-double of her career. She went off for 27 points in Sunday's double-overtime thriller to match her season high while adding nine rebounds, four steals and three assists.

The Bears have won nine of their last 10 games and boast an 8-3 record at Hawkins Arena this season. They are set to close out the regular season this weekend with a potential SoCon Championship preview on Thursday against Samford as the two top teams in the conference battle for the No. 1 seed in the tournament. Mercer will then travel to Johnson City, Tenn., to face ETSU at noon on Saturday in its regular season finale. Tickets for Thursday's game are only $1 and can be purchased here.

Fans who are unable to attend Thursday's game are able to watch the game on ESPN+ or listen to the game on 100.9 The Creek or SportsMic with the Voice of the Bears, Rick Cameron, on the call.
