Just a day after the season ended with a WNIT final four setback to Seton Hall, Middle Tennessee State's women's basketball team landed a significant transfer.

Savannah Wheeler, a 5-foot-6 junior guard who played at Marshall the past three seasons, signed with the Lady Raiders on Friday.

Wheeler, a first-team Conference USA selection in 2021-22, led the conference in scoring at 20.3 points.

"We are delighted to have Savannah Wheeler joining the Lady Raider family," MTSU coach Rick Insell said in a release. "Savannah is an outstanding player, and we know that first-hand having played against her the last three seasons at Marshall. Savannah is a solid all-around guard; great, great shooter; a competitor; and she is going to be a great addition to the Lady Raider program."

Wheeler also was among the top 100 nationally for field goals made, total points, free throw attempts, free throws made and free throw percentage.

She surpassed 1,000 points during the 2021-22 season. She has 1,294 career points and 143 career 3-pointers.

Point guard Dor Saar, who transferred to MTSU for a season after spending four years at Maine, is the only departure from the starting lineup.
