MAC Women’s Basketball Player of the Week
Quinesha Lockett, Guard, Toledo
Quinesha Lockett was outstanding last week and helped Toledo capture two big wins vs. Ball State and Kent State. Lockett averaged a robust 29.5 points per game and shot 67.6 percent from the floor for the week, making 23-of-34 shots. In Wednesday's win vs. Ball State, she scored 23 points while tallying five rebounds, four assists, three steals, and two blocks. Lockett did most of her damage close to the basket, knocking down 9-of-11 two-point field goals. She then turned in her best performance of the season at Kent State on Saturday, scoring a season-high 36 points on 13-of-17 shooting while going 6-for-6 from the free throw line. The Rockets and Golden Flashes were tied at 32-32 at halftime before Lockett exploded for 23 second-half points, making 8-of-10 field goals and 3-of-5 three-point shots. Her 15-point third quarter helped the Rockets outscore Kent State 26-12 and take a commanding lead. Lockett's 36 points are the most by a MAC player in a game this season and one point off her career-high of 37.
