ST. LOUIS, Mo. – Sara Dickey enjoyed a historic performance against Southern Illinois this past Friday, and on Monday, the senior guard picked up her first career Missouri Valley Conference Player of the Week award.
UE's all-time leading scorer with 2,007 career points, Dickey put together an impressive performance against the Salukis, going 10-of-17 from the field on the way to a season-best 28 points. She buried seven three-pointers, which was just one off the school record, and helped the Aces end a six-game skid with their second victory over SIU this season.
In the third quarter, she became the eighth-ever MVC player to crack 2,000 career points, and she is just the 14th player from any of Indiana's 10 Division I schools to accomplish the feat.
