Tanaya Atkinson
A reliable contributor off the bench last season, Atkinson earned the American Athletic Conference's Sixth Player of the Year Award. With senior guard Alliya Butts out for the year with an ACL injury, Atkinson is Temple's leading returning scorer. Her 8.7 rebounds per game led the Owls in the 2016-17 and ranked fifth in The American.
