IRVING – Anisha George of North Texas has been voted the Conference USA Women's Basketball Player of the Week as announced by the league office Monday.
George's dominant play helped North Texas to its first-ever 2-0 start in Conference USA play as the junior post averaged 18.5 points and 8.5 rebounds. Her game-high nine rebounds along with 12 points at LA Tech Jan. 3 led UNT to their first win in Ruston, while her career and game-high 25 points and eight rebounds at Southern Miss Jan. 5 also handed the Mean Green their first win in Hattiesburg. George went 17-of-23 from the field in the victories for an astounding field goal percentage of 73.9-percent.
Defensively, the junior post was extremely effective, especially against the Lady Eagles. George held the opposing post players to a collective 11 points, including zero from their second-leading scorer, while committing zero fouls in the contest.
The St. Croix, Virgin Islands, native leads the league in field goal percentage (62.5-percent) to rank 10thoverall in the nation. Within the conference, she also sits sixth in blocks per game (1.1) and seventh in rebounds (7.1).
George becomes the fourth Mean Green to achieve the weekly honor and joins her teammate, three-time recipient Terriell Bradley, as well as one-time honorees Kelsey Criner and Breanna Dawkins.
