Wyvette Mayberry Named The American Freshman of the Week

Tulsa women's basketball player Wyvette Mayberry was named the American Athletic Conference Freshman of the Week, as announced today by the league office.

Mayberry made her collegiate debut a memorable one. She tallied a team-leading 16 points in just 11:25 off the clock against Oklahoma State last week.

Mayberry started the game, but then went out due to an injury with 2:38 on the clock in the first quarter, when TU had an 18-13 lead. Then with just 4:03 left in the contest and TU up by just four, 57-53, Mayberry re-entered the contest and hit two big three's, putting TU up 60-56 with 2:32 to play and then again at the 1:29 mark (63-58). She then scored the final four points of the game for TU, going 4-of-4 from the free throw line for the final 69-62 score.

In the contest, Mayberry was 4-of-5 from the field (all of which were from behind the arc) and 4-of-4 from the free throw line. She also added two rebounds, one assist and one block. Her efforts gave TU their first win over a Big 12 opponent since 2005 when the Hurricane defeated OSU, 75-68, in double overtime in Stillwater.

This was TU's first and only other Freshman of the Week honor since the 2016-17 season when Kendrian Elliott, Alexis Gaulden and Shug Dickson each earned the honor twice.
