FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — The Razorbacks (20-14) were one of the hottest teams on the court in the final week of regular season play upsetting three teams to reach the Southeastern Conference Tournament finals for the first time in program history. The historic run was rewarded with the program’s seventh invitation to the WNIT and the first since 2013.

Although her first season is not yet complete, Dungee has her name all over the Razorback record books pacing Arkansas to its first 20-win season in six years. The Sapulpa, Oklahoma, native leads the SEC and ranks 14th in Division 1 with 687 points this season. She has 31 double figure games and leads the conference in free throws made and taken and is second averaging 20.2 points per game.

But Dungee was far from alone in contributing to Arkansas’ success. Senior Malica Monk finished the regular season averaging 12.4 ppg while junior Alexis Tolefree averaged 10.1 ppg this year. Tolefree jumped up to 13.0 ppg in the SEC Tournament and junior Jailyn Mason also played a big role in the late-season run averaging 12.3 ppg.
