CLEVELAND, Ohio - Junior guard Jill Morrison has been named the Mid-American Conference West Division Player of the Week, marking the fourth time Morrison has earned the weekly honor over her career.
Morrison helped the Cardinals to a 2-1 record last week after scoring in double figures in all three games. Morrison scored 14 points and had six steals in last Monday's 77-42 win over Austin Peay. She matched the scoring performance in a hotly contested 85-79 loss to Florida in the Omni Hotels Classic in Boulder, Colo., last Friday night.
On Saturday, she helped Ball State to its best shooting performance of the season in an 81-42 win over UMass. The Cardinals shot 50.0 percent from the floor (31-of-62), while holding the Minutewomen to 30.4 percent. Morrison had 20 points against UMass, going 6-of-9 from the field with five 3-pointers.
For the week, Morrison averaged 16.0 points and 4.3 rebounds per game, while making 11 shots from behind the arc and dishing 10 assists.
The Ball State University women's basketball team (3-2) will host Ohio Valley (12/3) and Butler (12/6) in Worthen Arena this week, with tipoffs at 7 p.m. and 2 p.m., respectively.
