Hughes tallied a career-high 19 points on 6-for-9 shooting to pace the Bobcats in a 65-54 win over Middlebury on Friday. She went 5-for-7 from three-point range in the contest and grabbed seven rebounds. Hughes followed that up in an 86-70 win over Williams on Saturday, finishing with 10 points and a team-high nine rebounds. She hit two of four from three-point range against the Ephs, capping off a remarkable week from beyond the arc, as she finished 7-for-11 overall from deep.
Lauryn Milne

She finished with 22 points, 11 rebounds, and two assists in a 77-66 victory over No. 5 and previously undefeated UW-Whitewater on Jan. 24. UWL snapped an eight-game losing streak to UW-Whitewater and recorded its first home win over the Warhawks since the 2011-12 season. Milne recorded 14 points, 11 rebounds, and one assist in a 79-64 win at UW-Platteville. She finished 12-of-12 at the free throw line for the week.

Roth scored 29 points with 12 rebounds and four steals in 43 minutes of action as Susquehanna knocked off Elizabethtown 65-64 in overtime. She then connected for 16 points and 12 rebounds in Wednesday's meeting with No. 8 Catholic, where the River Hawks led with under two minutes left.
Lexy Harris
Harris powered the Bears to a perfect 2-0 league record this past week, averaging 23 points and 10 rebounds per game, to go along with an assist and a block. For the week, Harris shot 77% from the field (19-for-25) and 78% from the free throw line. In the first game of the week against Carnegie Mellon, Harris managed a 32-point, 11 rebound performance; she then produced 13 points and eight rebounds in a come from behind victory over Case Western Reserve.
Men's
Caleb Williams
Williams averaged 36 points over two MIAC games last week, largely due to scoring 51 points while shooting 20-of-28 (.714) from the field and 8-of-11 from the free throw line in a 92-88 win at Concordia-Moorhead on Wednesday. He followed it up by registering 20 points, five rebounds, and four assists against first-place St. John's on Saturday.

Tedesco was named the Liberty League Player of the Week after leading Union to a 3-0 record, averaging 19 points, four assists, and four rebounds. He shot 59% (19 of 32) from the field, 63% (10 of 16) from long range, and 90% (9 of 10) from the free-throw line in the three victories.
