January 19, 2009
MONMOUTH, Ill. —
Senior Melissa
Gorski (Arlington Heights, Ill./Buffalo Grove) became Monmouth
College’s third winner this season of the Midwest Conference
Performer of the Week award in women’s basketball.
Gorski helped the
Fighting Scots stay in the hunt for a Midwest Conference Tournament
berth with a pair of wins to complete a 2-0 week, putting the Scots
in fifth position – one spot out of a tournament berth. The guard
scored a combined 42 points in wins over Grinnell College and Knox
College. In Monmouth’s 91-62 win over Grinnell, Gorski poured in 17
points, pulled down eight rebounds and dished out a game-high seven
assists. In an 85-55 win over Knox, Gorski exploded for 25 points
and grabbed another eight rebounds and handed out a game-high six
assists. For the week, she averaged 21 points, eight rebounds, 6.5
assists and two steals.
Already a member
of the 1,000-point club, Gorski has moved into fourth place on the
women’s all-time scoring list at Monmouth with 1,165 career points.
She is 153 points behind her coach, Melissa Bittner, for third. For
the season, she is averaging 15.4 points per game and would need to
average more than 25 points per game over the remaining six regular
season games to catch Bittner.
