A mainstay for the Bearkats for four seasons, Bible has played in more than 70 games and racked up over 2,500 minutes played.

An outstanding student-athlete, the Northwest High School product has a 3.92 overall GPA as a health major.
Megan Manis has played multiple roles for the Bearkats in her four years. She came to Sam Houston as a forward and scored three times her freshman season before converting to defense as a junior last season. Manis has played in every game the last two seasons and has filled an important role for the Kats as an outside back.
A product of Dickinson High School, Manis is a kinesiology major with a 2.94 overall GPA.
