MAC Women’s Basketball Player of the Week
Anna Clephane, Guard/Forward, Ball State
Redshirt senior Anna Clephane put on quite the show this week in Mid-American Conference action, helping Ball State defeat Eastern Michigan and Akron on the road. Her week was highlighted after tying her career high in points with a 26-point performance at Akron Saturday. Clephane 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. She then mimicked that performance against the Zips with 26 points. Clephane had some 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 mark and while also extending BSU’s win streak to nine.
