That’s the seventh-most points ever scored by a SCU player in a single season. “People tell me she’s a good player,” Broncos associate head coach Michael Floyd told the Mercury News of Heal. “But she’s still a freshman. She’s still learning. We know she’s going to get better.” Tess Heal ’26 (No. 34) has been named WCC Newcomer of the Year. Photo courtesy SCU Athletics.
