ST. LOUIS – The Missouri Valley Conference recognized Indiana State guard Ashli O'Neal Monday as she was named the league's Player of the Week.
A sophomore, O'Neal became the first Sycamore to claim a Player of the Week honor in The Valley since March 10, 2014 when Bilquis Abdul-Qaadir claimed the accolade.
O'Neal was pivotal in Indiana State's sweep of Loyola and Valparaiso over the weekend, averaging 21.5 points per game and shooting an impressive 52.0 percent (13-for-25) from the field. She was perfect from the free throw line (12-for-12) and shot 38.
