The Mid-American Conference announced its men's and women's Scholar Athletes of the Week on Wednesday with Kent State's Jordan Korinek receiving honors for the second week in a row.
Korinek recorded her two best scoring games of the season and averaged 25.0 points and 5.5 rebounds per game in Kent State's two conference contests last week. Korinek poured in a season-best 26 points and grabbed 6 boards in a heartbreaking 98-97 setback to first-place Northern Illinois on Wednesday. Facing its largest deficit of the game at 5 points with 8:56 on the clock, Korinek scored 10 of the Golden Flashes' final 18 points to snap two-time defending Mid-American Conference regular season champion Ohio's 10-game home winning streak on Saturday.
