JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Abilene Christian women's basketball's Payton Hull began her senior season on a high note with United Athletic Conference Player of the Week honors, the conference announced Monday. Hull fueled the Wildcats to a pair of wins over Howard Payne and Houston Christian while leading the UAC in scoring.
It's the sixth weekly honor of Hull's career between the UAC and the Western Athletic Conference, surpassing ACU's leading Division I scorer, Alexis Mason, for the most in team history. Hull was named the UAC Preseason Player of the Year after earning WAC Player of the Year accolades a season ago.
Hull averaged 18.0 points per game across a pair of dominant victories last week. The guard scored 20 points in a 108-32 rout of Howard Payne before tallying 16 points in an 84-43 road victory at Houston Christian. Hull connected on over half of her shots at a .519 clip while averaging 4.5 steals to lead the defensive effort.
Hull's steals ranked second in the conference behind teammate Meredith Mayes, while her .353 three-point percentage was second behind fellow Wildcat Riley Grohman. Hull's 14-of-27 mark from the field was good for sixth in the UAC.
The 2-0 Wildcats continue their three-game road trip against UT Rio Grande Valley in Edinburg, Texas at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday. ACU then heads to Fort Worth, Texas to battle No. 15 TCU at 2 p.m. Sunday.
Hull's 20-point effort against the Lady Jackets on Nov. 2 featured the second-most points by a UAC hooper last week. Hull connected on eight field goals, tied for the most in a conference game last week, with four three-pointers. She blocked a shot and came away with eight steals, a career high and tied for the most in a game in ACU's DI era.
The Peaster, Texas product followed with another efficient outing against the Huskies, sinking six of 12 field goal tries with a pair from beyond the arc. Hull dished out three assists and grabbed a steal. ACU registered its largest margin of victory over a DI opponent since 2018 and allowed its fewest points to a DI foe in three seasons.
Hull has scored 10 points or more in 83 of 89 career games and has notched a steal in 38 of her last 39 games, dating back to 2024-25. She ranks third in the Wildcats' DI record book with 1,539 career points and is 127 points shy of breaking Mason's program record of 1,666 points.
