Dickey wins second consecutive Player of the Week honor

EVANSVILLE – After picking up her first-ever Missouri Valley Conference Player of the Week award just a week ago, Sara Dickey made it two-in-a-row on Monday as she retained the honor after helping the University of Evansville women's basketball team to back-to-back wins over Bradley and Illinois State.

Dickey, UE's all-time leading scorer and a senior out of Montezuma, Ind., averaged 17 points in the victories over the weekend, beginning with a team-best 19 in Friday's 73-71 victory over Bradley. Two days later, she'd put up 15 on the way to helping hold off a late Illinois State run for a 60-56 win, marking the Aces' third consecutive victory.
