LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. – Former Colonel Maggie Prewitt has been named to the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference's 30th Anniversary women's basketball team, the league announced today.
Centre was a charter member of the SCAC until joining the Southern Athletic Association in 2012.
Prewitt was a four-time all-SCAC performer during her career as a guard at Centre – earning first team honors three times (2009-10, 2010-11 & 2011-12) – and was the conference's Player-of-the-Year in both 2010-11 and 2011-12. The 2008-09 SCAC Newcomer-of-the-Year, Prewitt is the only Colonel in program history and one of just eight in league history to win both distinctions. She finished her career among the league's best in several statistical categories including first all-time in assists (536) and fourth all-time in points (1,823). During her four years in Danville, Prewitt averaged 16.6 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.9 assists and 2.0 steals per contest.
She is the only player in SCAC history to lead the league in scoring for three consecutive seasons and the only player to lead the league in both scoring and assists in the same season, and she did it twice (2009-10, 2011-12). Her 2009-10 season is the only year in conference history when one player has led the league in scoring, assists and steals. The 2011-12 D3hoops.com all-South Region Player-of-the-Year, Prewitt was a two-time all-Region First Team honoree (2010-11, 2011-12). A five-time all-American, she was named to the D3hoops.com First Team as a senior in 2011-12 and is still one of only four SCAC athletes and the only one in the last 15 years to earn that distinction.
The Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference will be announcing 30th Anniversary teams in 21 sports throughout the 2020-21 academic year. The league selected 15th Anniversary teams during the 2005-06 academic year – those selections can be found
here. The SCAC's 30th Anniversary teams were selected through balloting by present coaches in each sport as well as administrators. Athletes who participated in conference competition between the fall of 2005 through the spring of 2020 and had been named to at least two All-SCAC teams and/or were a selected as a Player-of-the-Year in their respective sport were eligible for selection.
The SCAC was formed in 1991 after a reorganization of its predecessor, the College Athletic Conference (CAC). The CAC dates to 1962 with four charter members: Centre College, Southwestern @ Memphis (now Rhodes College), Sewanee-The University of the South, and Washington & Lee (Va.) University. Washington (Mo.) University joined the CAC later that same year.
