The following student-athlete has been named Gulf South Conference women's basketball Player of the Week for play ending Jan. 31.
Valdosta State forward Brittany Ferguson
(Sr., 5-10, Macon, Ga.)
By earning Player of the Week for the fourth time this season, Ferguson moves back into the lead for most weekly awards won this season. The senior was instrumental in helping the Lady Blazers win twice last week, including a hard-fought 57-53 win over a tough West Florida squad. Against the Argonauts, she picked up her seventh double-double of the season, scoring 11 points, grabbing 12 rebounds and adding four steals. In a scintillating performance against Flagler, she made 10-of-12 shots and scored 21 points in just 16 minutes of action. For the week, she averaged 16 points, seven rebounds and 2.5 steals. Ferguson is among the top-5 in the GSC in points per game (second), rebounds (third), field goal percentage (fifth) and steals (third).
