The following student-athlete has been named Gulf South Conference women's basketball Player of the Week for play ending Jan. 17.
Delta State forward Veronica Walker
(Sr., 6-1, Indianola, Miss.)
Walker earns Player of the Week honors for the second time this season and ninth time in her career after leading the Lady Statesmen to two wins during the past week. Delta State ran its win streak to three games thanks, in part, to the efforts of the senior All-American who averaged 19.5 points, 11.5 rebounds and two assists in wins over West Georgia and West Alabama. She had double-doubles in both games, giving her a league-high seven on the season, and moved into sixth all-time in the GSC in career scoring with 1,902 points. Walker leads the GSC in points per game (19.3) and rebounds (9.3) while currently second in field goal percentage (.546) and minutes played (34.4).
