February 13, 2023 | Women's Basketball
CLEVELAND, Ohio - Ball State women's basketball redshirt senior Anna Clephane has earned Mid-American Conference Player of the Week honors.
Clephane put on quite the show last week in Mid-American Conference action, helping Ball State defeat Eastern Michigan (68-50) and Akron (61-56) on the road. Her week was highlighted after tying her career high in points with a 26-point performance at Akron Saturday.
She began the week scoring 23 points against the Eagles while also having a career best in rebounds with 10 for her first double-double of her career. Clephane then mimicked that performance against the Zips with 26 points. She had timely baskets against both Eastern Michigan and Akron but especially on Saturday as she hit two crucial free throws with seconds remaining to help Ball State move past Akron.
For the week, Clephane averaged 24.5 points per game and 7.5 rebounds. She also shot a staggering 78 percent (15-19) from the charity stripe. Clephane helped Ball State remain atop of the MAC standings with an 11-1 league mark, while also extending BSU's win streak to nine.
The Ball State women's basketball team returns home Wednesday when it hosts Ohio at 6:30 pm ET in Worthen Arena. It will also be Ball State's annual "Think Pink" game where fans are encouraged to wear pink for breast cancer awareness.
