Lasha Petree Sweeps MVC Weekly Honors
ST. LOUIS, Mo. -- Freshman Lasha Petree (Detroit, Mich./Ann Arbor) swept the Missouri Valley Conference weekly honors with the six-foot guard named both the MVC Player of the Week and MVC Newcomer of the Week announced by the league office Monday afternoon.
For just the seventh time since the Valley introduced the Newcomer of the Week award for the 2003-04 season an individual earned both the Player of the Week and Newcomer of the Week honors in the same week. Petree, who also earned MVC Newcomer of the Week honors earlier this season (Nov. 12), is just the fifth Valley freshmen to sweep the awards and is the fifth player in program history to earn multiple MVC Newcomer of the Week awards.
