Maura McAfee of Hope claimed the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) Women’s Basketball Player of the Week Award on Monday for games through Jan. 31.

McAfee, a senior forward from Midland, set the all-time rebounding record at Hope over the weekend with a career total of 955 rebounds. In No. 4 Hope’s 73-53 win at Adrian on Saturday, she recorded a career-high 17 rebounds and 13 points to record her ninth double-double this season. It also marked her 12th game with double-double digit rebounds this year.

Earlier in the week McAfee posted another career high with 29 points in a 76-55 win versus Olivet. The 42 points she scored last week moved her into fifth all-time on the Hope career scoring list. She added 13 boards against the Comets to total 30 caroms for the week.

Last week McAfee averaged 21.0 points and 15.0 rebounds in an average of 29.5 minutes on the floor. She made 55 percent from the field on 16-of-29 shooting and went 10-of-15 from the charity stripe. Additionally, she averaged two assists, two blocks and one steal in the pair of contests last week to help keep Hope undefeated on the season. 

It marks the eighth time in McAfee's career that she has been named MIAA Player of the Week and third occasion this season after also winning the award on Dec. 21 and Nov. 23.
