Ebony Johnson Women's Basketball

Women's basketball player Ebony Johnson has been named the Sprint Spartan of the Week after leading Upstate to three games last week, including a matchup at South Carolina and two games in the Cozumel Cup.

Johnson, a senior Columbia, S.C., earned a spot on the Cozumel Cup All-Tournament Team thanks to an 11-point, eight-rebound effort against Oakland. Both were season-highs for the guard. She hit a 3-pointer and an off-balance jumper in the final minute to help Upstate pull within two points twice in the 64-60 loss. She scored eight points and had two rebounds and two steals in 19 minutes against defending Summit League champions, Oral Roberts.

Johnson averaged 9.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.5 steals and one block per game for the week. She was 8-of-16 from the field in the three games.
