A Missouri Valley College women’s basketball student-athlete has earned a weekly award from the Heart of America Athletic Conference for her record-breaking play in two games last week.
Gia Moore has been named the Heart Women’s Basketball Offensive Player of the Week after guiding the team to a pair of victories. Moore had 17 points, six rebounds, and six assists in Valley’s 80-55 win over Park. Moore then became the program’s all-time leading scorer after scoring 18 points in an 85-60 win over Graceland on Saturday. She currently sits at 1,501 career points.
This is the sixth weekly Heart award for Moore at Missouri Valley, and the first this season. Moore joins Sara Ortiz as weekly award winners this season. Ortiz won the Heart’s defensive award back on December 2.
Missouri Valley is 13-3 overall and 9-3 in the Heart following the two wins last week. Next up for the team is a home game against Baker, Wednesday at 5:30 p.m., inside the Burns Athletic Complex.
