Lasha Petree Named MVC Player Of The Week

ST. LOUIS, Mo. -- Sophomore guard Lasha Petree (Detroit, Mich./Arbor Prep) has been named the Missouri Valley Conference Player of the Week after scoring a career-high 30 points in last week's home win against North Dakota State according to an announcement by the league office Monday afternoon.

Petree hit 6-of-14 three-pointers and added two assists, a block and a pair of steals in addition to her career-best 30-point effort in the 70-64 win over North Dakota State as she helped Bradley extend its win streak to six games. She scored 22 points in the first half, including 14 second-quarter points, for the highest scoring half by a Brave since Dena Williams had 22 points in the first half of a game against Jackson State on Dec.
