For the second week in succession, a Lady Miner basketball player has earned the Great Lakes Valley Conference's "Player of the Week" award as Katie Bunge was named today as the recipient of the weekly honor.
Bunge, a senior forward from Mexico, Mo., posted double-doubles in both Missouri S&T wins last week to keep the Lady Miners atop the GLVC West Division. She posted 13 points and a career-high 13 rebounds in S&T's 76-65 victory over Bellarmine, then had a game-high 17 points and 12 boards to help lead the Lady Miners to a 66-42 victory Saturday over 14th-ranked Northern Kentucky.
Bunge also added a blocked shot in Thursday's win over Bellarmine, while adding to her stat line with an assist and three steals in the win over NKU. She was also a part of a strong defensive effort by the Lady Miners last week, as they held the two opponents to under 33 percent from the field, including a combined 27.1 percent mark in the second half of the contests.
Last week, S&T's Tamara McCaskill earned the conference's weekly honor after the Lady Miner victories at Wisconsin-Parkside and Lewis.
Missouri S&T returns to action Thursday at Southern Illinois Edwardsville.
