The Mid-American Conference announced Tuesday that Kent State's Larissa Lurken has been named the East Division Player of the Week, as voted by all 12 conference head coaches.
Lurken continued to lead the MAC in scoring as she averaged above her season mark in both conference games this week, scoring 18 against Ball State and 28 in a win over Eastern Michigan. On Saturday, she was one of three Flashes to grab a double-double as she also had ten rebounds. She helped in other areas, too, as she had three assists in each game and had five steals against Ball State.
