The Texas A&M-Kingsville men’s and women’s basketball teams swept the Lone Star Conference South Division Defensive Player of the Week awards on Monday.

Junior point guard Antwan Mullins (Katy/ Cinco Ranch HS) earned the men’s award.

Despite having his worst shooting week of the season, Mullins picked up his play on the defensive end.

Texas A&M-Commerce entered the game shooting over 50.0 percent from the field for the season, but Mullins forced point guard Cardell Hunter into four turnovers and was a big reason why the Lions only shot 37.9 percent from the field.

Against St. Mary’s, he had a game high three steals and prevented the Rattlers from getting the ball into the low post. The Rattlers shot just 43.5 percent from the field.

Senior wing Dyana Bullinger (Spring/Klein HS) earned the women’s award.

Bullinger’s harrassing defense keyed the Javelinas’ swarming zone defense. She keyed the team’s 3-0 week in which they allowed an average of 54.3 points per game.

In addition to solid defensive rebounding and 2.7 steals per game Bullinger also had a

BISHOP BADGERS 2009 - 2010 block in each game. Her help defense is the

key that allows Felicia Soza and Kayla Naylor

to play for steals.
