ABILENE - ACU
sophomore guard Mack Lankford has been named the Lone Star Conference
Offensive Player of the Week for the second time this season.
The LSC office
announced the award Monday afternoon as the Wildcats are preparing for
their final two games of the regular season, games which will determine
their post-season fate.
Lankford
kept the Wildcats alive in the race for the LSC Championship
Tournament, leading the Wildcats to a pair of wins last week over
Incarnate Word and Texas A&M-Kingsville.
In
a 76-59 road win over UIW last Wednesday, Lankford scored 25 points to
lead the Wildcats to the victory. She was 4 for 6 from 3-point range in
the win and dished out four assists and
had three steals.
In
Sunday afternoon's 79-64 home win over Kingsville, Lankford might have
played one of the best games of her ACU career, scoring a career-high 38
points while pulling down eight rebounds,
dishing out five assists, coming up with one blocked shot and picking up
five steals.
She
finished the week as a 50-percent shooter from 3-point range (8 of 16)
and shot 47.6 percent from the field overall ( 20 of 42).
Earlier this season, Lankford was named the LSC Offensive Player of the Week for the week of Nov. 23.
