Kyle Myrick
Playing all 120 minutes over Lincoln’s three games last week, Myrick averaged over 26 points, six rebounds, five assists, and just more than two steals in a perfect week for the Lions. Myrick was one rebound short of a triple-double in Lincoln’s 92-78 win over Moravian.

Isom posted the third triple-double of his career in a 106-87 win over Concordia-Austin Thursday, scoring 26 points with 11 rebounds and 10 assists. The junior added three blocks and four steals in the win against the Tornados. He followed that performance with a double-double — 15 points and 12 rebounds — along with five assists and a steal in a loss to Mary Hardin-Baylor on Saturday.

Jared Kelly
Kelly scored half of the Prairie Fire’s points in a 100-86 win over Grinnell. Aside from the 50 points, Kelly also led Knox in rebounds with six. The senior connected on 21 of 24 from the field and 8 of 12 from the line playing all but four minutes in the victory.

Roberto King
King averaged 25 points, 7.5 rebounds, 3.5 steals, and 3.0 assists per game while leading the Blue Knights to a pair of Skyline Conference victories last week. The senior scored a game and season-high 28 points on 11-for-17 shooting from the floor while adding seven rebounds in a 31-point win at Centenary.

Badou Gaye
Gaye averaged 21 points, 13 rebounds, and 2.5 blocks for the Griffins over four games last week in which Gwynedd-Mercy split with two victories and two losses. The 6-9 senior connected on 35 of his 60 shots.

Women

Sarah Caskey
Caskey became the Britons’ all-time leading scorer last week while pacing Albion with 19.3 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 6.6 assists in three wins. Caskey just missed a triple-double against Alma, finishing with nine assists and connected on 21 of 26 chances from the line.

Kristen McDonald
Over three games for the Knights last week, McDonald posted an average of 16 points, nine assists, and two steals. The senior hit seven shots from beyond the arc to become Calvin’s career leader in three-point field goals made.

Alyssa Burns
The sophomore averaged 20 points and 10.5 rebounds in Maine Maritime’s two wins last week. Burns added four steals for the week while shooting 15-of-16 from the charity stripe. The wins propelled the Mariners to a 10-1 start.,
