The senior averaged 19 points and 11 rebounds per game off 53.6% shooting
CLEVELAND, Ohio (EMUEagles.com) – Eastern Michigan women's basketball senior Sisi Eleko was named Mid-American Conference Player of the Week Tuesday, Dec. 2.
Eleko (Montreal, Quebec/New Hope Academy/Canisius) averaged 19 points and 11 rebounds per game while shooting 53.6% from the field, leading the Eagles to wins over Robert Morris, Nov. 26, who is receiving votes in the College Insider Mid-Major Poll, and Detroit Mercy, Nov. 30.
The senior's 19 points per game was the second-highest total from the previous week while her 53.6 field-goal percentage (15-for-28) stood fifth, although she had at least 15 more attempts than the four individuals that ranked above her. Additionally, Eleko shot 87.5% from the free-throw line (7-for-8), a figure that stood fourth in the conference while she checked in at fifth in rebounds per game (11.0).
Eleko started the week with a bang, securing her fourth double-double of the season, scoring 23 points with 14 rebounds against the Colonials, both of which were the second most in a single game in the conference last week, while her 23 points were the most in a double-double performance. Eleko made the mark off an effective 72.7% (8-for-11) from the field while shooting 100% (6-for-6) from the free-throw line. She followed the performance up by scoring 15 points and grabbing eight rebounds in a win over Detroit Mercy, Nov. 30.
Eleko ranks highly in the national stage, slotting third by value with four double-doubles this season and second in the conference, while ranking second in the MAC and 25th nationally, posting 10.3 rebounds per game.
The honor marks the first of the season for the Eagles and the second of Eleko's EMU career. She earned the accolade last season after averaging 27 points and 10.5 rebounds per game, leading EMU to its first win in the Head Coach Sahar Nusseibeh era, a 72-60 comeback victory over Xavier, Dec. 1, 2024.
