Emma Ricketts has been named the G-MAC Women’s Basketball Athlete of the Week for the second time in the last three weeks and is the third Arrows player to earn the honor this season. Despite the team’s loss in its only game last week, a 76-72 loss to Davis & Elkins in conference, Ricketts led the entire conference in scoring, while grabbing a conference-high rebounding total as well.
In 33 minutes of action, Ricketts posted 20 points and 13 rebounds, while also grabbing a team-high three steals. She improved her scoring average to 15.6 points per game, which stands as the conferences highest average. She has also now moved into the top-20 in rebounding, pulling down 5.3 rebounds (17th in the G-MAC) per game.
Ricketts also finds herself ranked third in the conference in shooting (57.3%) and 13th in steals (1.5/game).
