Minnitt Named National Player of Week

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Dallas College Cedar Valley's Tynia Minnitt has been named the National Junior College Athletic Association Division III Women's Basketball Player of the Week.

Three days earlier, Minnitt finished with nine points, seven assists, six rebounds four steals and a block in a road win at East Texas Baptist University.

Her efforts helped vault the Suns into this week's national rankings.

No. 11 Cedar Valley (7-9, 1-0 Dallas Athletic Conference) will host No. 12 Dallas College Richland (5-8, 0-0) at 4 p.m. Monday in the DAC Game of the Week.
