KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - University of Tennessee rookie hoopster Glory Johnson (Knoxville, Tenn.) was named Southeastern Conference (SEC) Freshman of the Week today for her performance in the Lady Vols' 68-39 season-opening win over San Francisco.

Against the Dons, Johnson became only the 11th freshman to start her first game in the Orange and White for Head Coach Pat Summitt. The Webb School product was 7-of-11, 63 percent, from the field to finish with a team-high 17 points. She also hauled in a team-high 12 rebounds, eight of which came on the offensive end, for her first career double-double.

The Lady Vols are back on the court tonight, as they host No. 15-ranked Virginia. Tip time is slated for 7 p.m. at Thompson-Boling Arena. For tickets and more information, please visit www.utladyvols.com.
