The Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference announced Tuesday morning that Rockford's Anaya Davis has been named the NACC Women's Basketball Player of the Week for the second time this season. Davis becomes the first RU women's basketball player to repeat as the conference's player of the week in the same season since Britney Curry did it during the 2011-12 season.
Anaya Davis posted two more double-doubles last week to bring her NCAA Division III-leading total to 13 this season. Davis opened with 12 points, 12 rebounds and 4 steals against Benedictine. She then poured in a career-high 30 points, 12 rebounds, 3 blocks, 1 assist and 1 steal in a win at MSOE. For the week, Davis averaged 21 points on 53.8% shooting, 12 rebounds, 2.5 steals and 1.5 blocks. At the midway point in the season, Davis currently leads the NACC in both scoring (17.4 ppg) and rebounding (13.4 rpg) and is third in the conference in steals (2.5 spg).
The RU women's basketball team returns to the court on Tuesday, January 25 against Concordia University Chicago. Tip-off is set for 7 PM in the Seaver Center.
