Alyssia Brewer no longer on Tennessee women’s basketball team

Tennessee released a statement today regarding the status of senior Alyssia Brewer:

“We met with Lyssi yesterday and came to an agreement that she would no longer be a member of the team,” said head coach Pat Summitt. “She will finish this semester at UT and we will help her if she’d like to transfer to another school.”

Brewer, a 6’3" senior from Sapulpa, Okla., averaged 2.9 ppg, 2.6 rpg and 10.0 minutes per outing in 20 games as a junior. She earned seven starting assignments after coming back from a torn Achilles tendon suffered before the start of the 2010-11 season.

During her career, she scored 599 points (6.9 ppg) and grabbed 396 rebounds (4.6 rpg) while appearing in 87 games and starting 20 contests.
