MONMOUTH, Ill. —
Monmouth
College senior Tanesha Hughes (Peoria, Ill./Woodruff) had the best
weekend of her career and has earned the Midwest Conference
Performer of the Week award in women’s basketball.
Hughes helped the
Fighting Scots to a 2-0 week to stay in the hunt for a conference
playoff berth. The Scots beat Lawrence 63-44 on Friday and topped
Carroll 86-66 in a crucial game on Saturday. In the Scots’ upset of
Carroll, the power forward recorded her seventh double-double in 13
games. Hughes poured in a game-high 30 points on 13-of-21 shooting
and ripped down 10 rebounds to go with a team-high five steals. That
performance came off a solid effort the night before when Hughes
nearly recorded the first triple double in Fighting Scots women’s
history. In just 27 minutes against Lawrence, Hughes ripped down 12
rebounds, scored eight points and had eight steals. For the week,
she averaged 19 points, 11 rebounds and 7.5 steals.
Hughes is averaging a
double-double this season with 14.2 points and 10.3 rebounds per
game.
