2/9/2021 10:59:00 AM | Women's Basketball
After arguably the greatest two-game stretch in Miami women's basketball history, Peyton Scott was honored by being named Mid-American Conference Player of the Week. It was the first time in her career she has won this award.
The sophomore averaged 35.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 4.5 steals per contest. She shot 61.4 percent (27-44) from the floor as was 15-of-16 (93.8%) from the free throw line. Her 71 points scored is believed to be the most of any Miami basketball player in school history in a two-game span. Courtney Osborn also scored 71 back on Jan. 4 and Jan. 7, 2012 and Wally Szczerbiak scored 67 points in a two-game stretch during the 1998-99 NCAA Tournament run.
Scott began the week scoring a career-high 37 points versus Western Michigan while adding 10 rebounds, helping the Red and White to a 73-64 win. She followed that up with a 34-point performance in a two-point loss at MAC leading Kent State.
Scott and the RedHawks host Central Michigan on Wednesday at 5:30 p.m.
