KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Fort Hays State women's basketball graduate student Katie DeGarmo has been named MIAA Athlete of the Week presented by Southern Bank for a second-consecutive week, announced Monday by the league office.
DeGarmo averaged a double-double for the second week in a row, putting up 22.0 points and 10.0 rebounds in a pair of home wins over Missouri Southern and fifth-ranked Pittsburg State. She hit 58 percent from the floor for the week (18-of-31) while going a perfect 7-for-7 from the free-throw line.
The Maize, Kan. native opened the week with a pair of season highs, totaling 27 points and 15 rebounds in a 64-55 win over MSSU. She then added 17 points and five rebounds in a 76-60 win over Pittsburg State.
DeGarmo now has double-doubles in three of the last four games, averaging 18.3 points and 11.0 rebounds over that span to take home the conference weekly honor in back-to-back weeks.
This is the seventh time DeGarmo has earned the league's weekly award in her career. Teammate Olivia Hollenbeck has also earned the award twice this season, giving the Tigers four weekly honors this year, more than any other school in the league.
The Tigers will wrap up the regular season this week with two games against Nebraska-Kearney. The teams will first battle in Hays on Wednesday (Feb. 26) at 5:30 p.m. before facing off again three days later (March 1) in Kearney beginning at 2 p.m.
