BRENTWOOD, Tenn. – Little Rock forward Sali Kourouma was named the Ohio Valley Conference's Player of the Week following an explosive set of games where she averaged 23.5 points per game and led the league in scoring and blocked shots.
Helping guide Little Rock to wins over Tennessee Tech and Tennessee State last week, Kourouma led the OVC in total point scored (47), points per game (23.5) and blocked shots (5) while finishing second in the league in rebounding (18 total rebounds, 9.0 rpg), behind only teammate Angelique Francis.
The only OVC player to score 20-plus points in multiple games last week, Kourouma twice barely missed on a double-double as she finished with nine rebounds in both games.
