ST. LOUIS – UNI freshman point guard Maya McDermott was named the Missouri Valley Conference after her performance in two games against Indiana State.
She scored a career-high 20 points in Friday's win over Indiana State without missing a field goal, going 6-for-6 from the field, 3-for-3 from deep and 5-for-5 from the line in a 95-69 win over the Sycamores. The freshman also added a pair of assists and a block in just 15 minutes on the court.
McDermott followed up that performance with nine points, on 3-for-6 shooting, and seven assists to lead the Panthers to an 88-53 win over Indiana State on Saturday.
