University of Southern Indiana junior guard Tanner Marcum (New Albany, Indiana) and junior forward Hannah Wascher (Rantoul, Illinois) have been named All-Great Lakes Valley Conference for women’s basketball in a vote by the league’s head coaches.
Wascher was named to the second-team after leading the Screaming Eagles in scoring (12.9 ppg) and rebounding (7.6 rpg) in 2015-16. Wascher was a force inside for the Eagles all year, where she averaged 1.4 blocks per game and had a blistering .572 shooting percentage.
In her first year with the Eagles, Wascher reached double-figures in the scoring column 17 times, reaching a season-high 24 points twice. She racked up seven double-figure rebounding games, including a season-high 14 against William Jewell College, and had six double-doubles on the year.
Marcum was named to the third team after averaging 12.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, 3.3 assists, and 2.0 steals per game in her third season at USI. She reached double-figures in the scoring column a season-high 20 times in 2015-16, including a season-best 25 points in USI’s win over Rockhurst University.
In 2015-16, Marcum recorded single-game career highs in rebounds (8), assists (6), and steals (7). Her season scoring, rebounding, assist, and steal averages were all career highs.
USI concluded the 2015-16 season with a 14-13 overall record and a 7-11 mark in GLVC play. The Eagles ended the regular-season by winning four of their final five games to pull into a five-way tie for seventh in the GLVC standings—USI lost out on the tie-breaker formula, sending the Eagles to the No. 11 seed in the GLVC Tournament.
