STATESBORO - Georgia Southern women's basketball senior forward Kishyah Anderson has been named the Sun Belt Conference Player of the Week, announced today by league officials.
Anderson averaged 24.0 points, 7.0 rebounds and 3.0 steals per game as Georgia Southern won a pair of Sun Belt contests last week to improve to 5-1 in the league, the best start to a conference season since the Eagles joined the SBC in 2014. The Phoenix, Ariz., native hit 12-of-14 shots from the floor en route to 26 points in Wednesday's 78-70 win over preseason league favorite James Madison, then followed that up with 22 points and nine rebounds in Saturday's 77-60 victory over Old Dominion.
For the week, Anderson shot 67.9 percent from the floor and also hit 75 percent from the free throw line. She has tallied 20+ point performances in four of the last five games for the Eagles as well.
Anderson is the second Eagle to earn weekly honors from the Sun Belt this season, joining Destiny Garrett, who was the league's Player of the Week on December 9.
The Eagles return to action on Wednedsay, January 14, visiting Georgia State for a 6:30 p.m. Sun Belt contest in Atlanta, Ga.
