Westlake, Ohio – Oberlin College sophomore
Syrea Thomas was named as the North Coast Athletic Conference Player of the Week, the league office announced on Sunday evening.
Thomas, a 5-foot-5 guard from Cleveland, Ohio, lifted the Yeowomen to a 76-73 overtime win at Earlham over the weekend by hitting a game-winning three-pointer with 14 seconds left in the extra period. Thomas was tenacious throughout the contest as she recorded her first-career double-double with 12 points and a career-high 10 rebounds.
She also added eight points and six rebounds earlier in the week against Ohio Wesleyan. In the two games last week, she averaged eight boards, 10 points and a pair of assists per game.
This is the first conference player of the week award for Thomas and first of the season for the Yeowomen.
Thomas and the rest of the Yeowomen return to action on Friday night when they travel to Wooster for a 7:30 p.m. battle.
