Dewart averaged 18.8 points and 7.3 rebounds across four games last month, helping the Lady Mocs to a 3-1 mark in that span. The junior transfer from Appalachian State shot 64-percent from the field (32-for-50) and was 11-of-16 from the free throw line.
Dewart, who stepped into a starting role when center Faith Dupree went down with an injured knee in November, carried that momentum through a two-week holiday break with 23 points and 13 rebounds in Wednesday's 66-57 win at UAB.
Chattanooga stands at 9-2 overall (2-0 in SoCon play) as it enters a stretch of 18 straight conference games to close out the regular season. The first game in that stretch is Saturday afternoon at UNC Greensboro.
