HUNTINGTON, W.Va.- Marshall University women's basketball player Tynikki Crook earned her third career Conference USA Player of the Week, as announced by the league office on Monday.
Crook helped the Thundering Herd to a 64-61 double-overtime victory verse George Washington on Thursday night, snapping a three-game losing streak. The senior drained a career-high 32 points while grabbing 13 boards for her 20th career double-double, moving her into 15th place all-time in C-USA.
The forward recorded a career-high 46 minutes of play, 13:51 of which was played with four personal fouls but Crook continued production, netting 11 points during the span.
Crook's 32 point effort is the second highest by any C-USA member thus far this season. The Detroit, Mich. native also ranks 41st nationally in Division I in field goal percentage at 54.4 on the season.
Crook and the rest of the Herd face off against former MAC rival Miami (Ohio) tonight in Oxford, Ohio. Game time is set for 7 p.m., at Millett Hall.
