ISU women’s hoops’ Phillips named MVC Player of the Week

The Tribune-Star

TERRE HAUTE Tribune-Star staff report

Indiana State senior guard Leah Phillips has been named the Missouri Valley Conference Player of the Week for women’s basketball following a pair of double-digit scoring efforts last week as the Sycamores earned road victories over Detroit and Southeast Missouri State.

Phillips scored a career-high 27 points, hitting 9 of 12 shots from the field including a sparkling 6 of 8 from behind the 3-point stripe, to lead ISU to a thrilling 75-72 victory over SEMO.

Against Detroit, she hit three 3-pointers en route to 15 points in the ISU win. Phillips was a perfect 4 of 4 from the free throw line and pulled down four rebounds, dished out four assists and recorded a steal against Detroit, which had just beaten No. 23 Georgia only four days earlier.

For the week, Phillips hit 13 of 22 shots from the field (59.1 percent) and connected on 9 of 17 shots from long range (52.9 percent). She was 7 of 8 from the free throw line (87.5 percent) and pulled down 2.5 rebounds, dished out 2.0 assists and recorded 1.5 steals per game.

Phillips is the first ISU women’s team member to earn MVC Player of the Week honors since Kelsey Luna last year.



Elsewhere in basketball:

• Phillips, Carter honored — Indiana State guards Leah Phillips (women) and Aaron Carter (men) have been named Exchange Club Athletes of the Week for their recent performances. The awards will be presented at today’s luncheon meeting starting at noon at the Holiday Inn.

Carter continues to be the Sycamores' most consistent player, averaging 14.5 points, 3.5 rebounds and two assists in the team's games against Murray State and DePaul.
