Maura McAfee of Hope earned the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) Women’s Basketball Player of the Week Award on Monday for games through Nov. 22.
McAfee, a senior from Midland, became the 14th player in team history to reach 1,000 points in her career after Hope’s 102-44 defeat of Bethany to claim the Tip Off Tournament title at DeVos Fieldhouse on Saturday. She finished with 12 points and earned Tournament MVP honors.
In Hope’s tournament opening 83-41 win against Monmouth (Ill.), McAfee scored 18 points after six field goals and 6-for-6 shooting at the free throw line. She added six blocks, six boards, an assist and a steal in 23 minutes of work to round out an impressive stat line.
McAfee played just 15 minutes in the victory over Bethany but poured in a dozen points on 6-of-10 shooting from the floor to produce a milestone day. She also grabbed five rebounds, swiped two steals and blocked a shot in her limited time on the floor.
