Monaco Earns MAC West Player Of The Week
January 31, 2017 | Women's Basketball
CLEVELAND, Ohio - Ball State women's basketball junior forward Moriah Monaco has been named Mid-American West Division Player of the Week, as announced by the league office Tuesday.
Monaco helped the Cardinals improve to 7-2 in conference action last week for its best MAC start since the 2008-09 season. The junior from Dover, Ohio, started the week off with a career-high 35 points while tying her personal-best in 3-pointers made (8), helping the Cardinals earn an 89-75 road win at Buffalo last Wednesday night in Alumni Arena.
On Saturday, Monaco led the Cardinals again in scoring with a 23-point performance against Northern Illinois. She has now scored in double figures in all but one of Ball State's 21 games this season.
For the week, Monaco averaged 29.0 points and made 11 from behind the arc while shooting 50.0 percent from the field (20-of-40). She also added 7.0 rebounds per contest.
The Ball State women's basketball team continues Mid-American Conference action Wednesday in a cross-division match-up on the road at Akron. Tipoff is at 7 p.m. in James A. Rhodes Arena, and the game will air live on ESPN3.
