Sisk Earns Second Consecutive OVC Freshman of the Week Award
12/4/2012 1:50:00 PM | Women's Basketball
Freshman Erika Sisk of the Murray State women's basketball team was named as the adidas® OVC Freshman of the Week for the second consecutive week, the league announced Wednesday afternoon.
The first-year guard from Oxford, Miss., had another huge week in which she averaged 16.5 points, three rebounds and 3.5 steals per game. In MSU's win over Ball State, she led all scorers in the contest with a career-high 26 points.
Sisk also had a great week at the line where she went 7-for-10 and from the floor where she shot 44.8 percent. Her stellar shooting percentage for the week also raised her season percentage almost 10 points, from 18.8 to 27.7.
The freshman now joins senior Mariah Robinson as the only two Murray State players to win more than one honor more than once and joins junior Jessica Winfrey and former Racer Jenny Petrie as the only four Racers to claim the award, according to OVC records that date back to the 2006-07 season. She is now also the first Racer to the win the award in back-to-back weeks and the first freshman overall to do so since Tennessee State's Tayla Foster did in February of 2011.
Sisk and the rest of Racers will return to the CFSB Center on Thursday night to host Mid-Continent at 7 p.m., in their lone game of the week.
