ATLANTA- This week's Georgia State Student-Athlete of the Week presented by the U.S. Marines is women's basketball's Makeba Ponder.
The sophomore poured in a career-best 26 points and earned MVP honors to lead GSU to the championship of the Hatter Classic on Monday in Florida. Ponder hit 50 percent outside the 3-point arc (6 of 12), one shy of her personal-best for a game, and 9 of 18 overall for the game (2-2 free throws).
The Panthers ended a Stetson streak of 27 consecutive non-conference wins at home where they had a 61-6 overall home record in its last 67 games.
