MAC Release
CLEVELAND – Senior guard Amani Burke (Columbus, Ohio) of Ohio women's basketball was named Mid-American Conference East Division Player of the Week, the league announced on Tuesday.
Burke, a child and family studies major, earned MAC weekly honors for the first time this season and the second-time of her career after winning the award last season. Ohio has now won MAC East Division Player of the Week twice this year after redshirt sophomore guard Erica Johnson (Mansfield, Ohio) won the award after the opening week of the season.
Burke was 9-of-20 from behind the arc during the Daytona Beach Invitational last weekend. Burke started the weekend with 13 points and six rebounds in Ohio's second power five win of the season when they defeated Pittsburgh, 72-50. In Ohio's game against Butler, Burke was 11-of-22 and knocked down six threes for 30 points, just missing her career-high of 33. Burke had 43 total points, 10 rebounds, six assists and eight steals in the Daytona Beach Invitational.
Burke is No. 36 in the nation in three-point field goals made with 21 this season.
Ohio is back in action at the Convo against IUPUI on Saturday. Tip-off is set for 1 p.m.
