YOUNG HARRIS, Ga. --- Tusculum University forward Jami Tham has been voted first-team All-Southeast Region in women's basketball by the Division II Conference Commissioners Association.

Tham averaged 17.6 points and 13.3 rebounds per game for the Pioneers during the 2021-22 season, earning first-team All-South Atlantic Conference honors. She led the conference and currently ranks third in Division II in rebounding, and also led the SAC in field goal percentage at 51.9 percent (202-for-416). Tham continues to lead Division II with a SAC-record 26 double-doubles in 29 games, including a streak of 22 straight to open the season.

Tham was third in the SAC in scoring average and scored in double figures in 28 of the Pioneers' 29 games, with eight games of 20 points or more. The graduate student from Arlington, Virginia scored a season-high 31 points against Mars Hill on Dec. 10 and grabbed a season-best 20 rebounds against Emory & Henry on Dec. 14. Tham, a two-time SAC Player of the Week, also led the conference in made free throws (102) and ranks second in Division II in total rebounds with 385.

Her 13.3 rebounds per game average is the third-highest in a season in SAC history and second-best in program history behind the 14.6 rebounds per game of Maddie Sutton during the 2020-21 season. Tham, whose 26 double-doubles are tied for third-most in a season in Division II history, is the first Pioneer to earn D2CCA All-Region honors since Mia Long in 2019-20.

Tham, who was second-team D2CCA All-Southeast Region last year at Barton, finished her career with 1,661 points and 1,210 rebounds in 129 games. She currently ranks second among active Division II players in career rebounds and in career double-doubles with 59.

Joining Tham on the first team are Mackenzie Johnson of Young Harris, who was named Region Player of the Year, along with Lyrik Thorne of Catawba, Lauryn Taylor of Francis Marion and Braelyn Wykle of Carson-Newman. On the second team are Bryanna Troutman of Wingate, Caroline Martin of North Georgia, Emily Trushel of USC Aiken, Ava Jones of Georgia Southwestern and Quin Byrd of Limestone.

Sports information directors from NCAA Division II Southeast region schools and conferences selected the D2CCA all-region teams. The process concludes with All-America selections announced later in the month, with first-team honorees eligible for the All-America ballot.
