ST LOUIS – For the third time this season Doneelah Washington earned MVC Freshman of the Week, as announced by the league office on Monday. She recorded a pair of double-figure performances to help Illinois State to wins over Indiana State and Evansville last week.
Washington averaged 12.5 points, 9.5 rebounds and 3.3 blocks per game in play last week on 9-for-18 (50%) shooting from the field. She recorded her first-career double-double Thursday against the Sycamores, the first and only double-double by a freshman in Valley play this season. It marked just the third overall double-double by a Valley rookie this year, as Washington scored a season-high 15 points with 10 boards and two blocks in the win.
