BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – In a vote conducted by the league’s head coaches and sports information directors, defending Southwestern Athletic Conference tournament champion Grambling State has been tabbed to finish atop the league for the 2018-19 season.

The Lady Tigers garnered 144 total points, outdistancing Texas Southern, who received 123 total points. Prairie View A&M was close behind with 119 points, and defending SWAC regular-season champion Southern totaled 118 points.

Grambling stands to return a solid core from last season tournament victory, highlighted by Shakyla Hill, who was selected as the SWAC Preseason Player and Defensive Player of the Year. The senior guard from Little Rock, Ark. is coming off an excellent junior season where she averaged 16.8 points, 7.5 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 4.8 steals per game on her way to her second-straight first team all-conference selection.

The 2017 SWAC Women’s Tournament Most Valuable Player and the 2017 Preseason Player of the Year made national headlines by recording the first quadruple-double by an NCAA player in more than 25 years.

Rounding out the predicted order of finish was Jackson State (73), Alabama A&M (66), Alabama State (65), Alcorn State (57), Arkansas-Pine Bluff (39) and Mississippi Valley State (21).

The full preseason all-conference teams are listed below. Grambling, Prairie View A&M and Southern each had two selections, while Jackson State, Alabama A&M, Alabama State and Arkansas-Pine Bluff received one choice.
