Nicola Handreck, a junior from Heywood, Victoria, Australia, was a second team preseason all-conference selected back in early November.

She started in all 27 games for Newberry this season compiling 370 points, over 160 rebounds, and over 100 assists. Nicola averaged 13.7 points per game, 6.0 rebounds per game, and 3.9 assists per game. Her 105 assists on the season put her fourth in the SAC. In two straight seasons, she has scored at least 350 points, dished out over 100 assists, and brought down over 100 rebounds.

Handreck notched double figures in 20 games this season for Newberry. She also led the team with five double-doubles.

Handreck too, cracked the South Atlantic Conference record books thanks to her nine three-pointers at Carson-Newman on Jan. 21. The total of nine from beyond the arc puts the guard in a four-way tie for third all-time in the SAC.

Nicola now has the single season record for three-pointers at Newberry after connecting on 75 shots from distance in 2016-17. She sits at second in school history with 165 made in her career.
