Tusculum College sophomore forward Kristen McMillion has been named honorable mention All-South Atlantic Conference in Women's basketball for the 2013-14 season, the conference office announced Wednesday.

McMillion was recognized by the league's 12 head coaches after a season in which she led the SAC and ranks in the top 10 nationally in rebounding with an average of 11.9 per game. The 6-footer also averaged 8.0 points per game and was the only player in the conference to rank in the top 10 in both blocks per game (1.1, 7th) and steals per game (2.0, 8th).

McMillion thrived on the boards for the Pioneers, reaching double figures 19 times in 26 games including a stretch of eight games in a row at midseason. She finished the season with a flourish, posting back-to-back games with more than 20 rebounds in wins over Lincoln Memorial (21) and Mars Hill (23). Her 23 rebounds against Mars Hill were one shy of a school record and tied for the 6th-best single-game total in SAC history.

The Fayetteville, N.C. native led the SAC with 126 offensive rebounds and was second in the league with 183 defensive boards. She averaged 31.7 minutes per game to rank 15th in the conference and shot 45 percent from the field. McMillion finished the season with eight double-doubles for the Pioneers, including a career high of 19 points set against Anderson on Feb. 5 and matched in the season finale against Coker on March 1.

The Pioneers finished the 2013-14 season with an 8-18 record and in ninth place in the SAC with an 8-14 league record. Tusculum won seven of its final 11 games to come one win shy of earning a spot in this week's Food Lion SAC Tournament.

Jazmine Charles of Lenoir-Rhyne was named SAC Player of the Year after leading the Bears to a share of the SAC regular-season championship. Lenoir-Rhyne head coach Todd Starkey was saluted as Coach of the Year and Kaitlyn Cupples of Carson-Newman was recognized as Freshman of the Year.
