Strang, Okla./Adair
Luper collects her second-straight Player of the Week award after breaking two Summit League single-game records in only her third collegiate game. Luper scored 44 points and had 19 field goals made in a 76-55 Oral Roberts win over La Salle last week. Her 44 points broke Youngstown State's Brianne Kenneally's record of 43 set in 2000, while her 19 field goals broke Southern Utah's Myndee Larsen's 18 set in 1998. The freshman also grabbed 14 rebounds for a double-double and dished out three assists, while shooting 76 percent (19-of-25) from the field, 50 percent from behind the arc (3-of-6) and a perfect 3-of-3 from the line.

Also nominated: Anne Farrell, Centenary; Stephanie Rosado, IPFW; Briannica Tye, IUPUI; Chazny Morris, UMKC; Janae Burich, North Dakota State; Bethany Watterworth, Oakland; Challis Pascucci, Southern Utah.
