STERLING, Va. – After
averaging 18.5 points, 12.0 rebounds and 6.5 blocks in a weekend
split at home
to help Millsaps snap a 15-game conference losing
streak, junior center Jessica Bowie has
been named to the National Team of the Week by D3hoops.com. 
She becomes the first female
selection for Millsaps in D3hoops.com Team of the Week history
(1997-98) and the first overall selection (male or female) since
Daniel Waguespack was selected to the Team of the Week for games
played
Dec. 3-16,
2000.
In a narrow loss to Oglethorpe on
Friday, 74-67, Bowie recorded the first known triple-double at
Millsaps with 15
points, 10 rebounds and an unprecedented 11 blocks. She followed
that up with a game/career-high 22 points and 14 rebounds
to go along with two blocks, two steals and an assist on
Sunday to help the Majors defeat Sewanee 60-55.
For the
weekend, Bowie shot 57 percent (13-of-23) from the floor
and 85 percent (11-of-13) from the charity stripe. Her 13 blocks
on the weekend moved her into third in the league with
29 in just 10 games played.
The Majors will be back in action
Friday, Jan. 25, traveling to Centre to open a two-game
road swing with the Lady Colonels and reigning national champion
DePauw University. |
