INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – After helping Cleveland State women's basketball to a pair of wins over Purdue Fort Wayne and Green Bay last week, senior Mickayla Perdue has been named the Horizon League Player of the Week. This marks the second weekly honor for Perdue this season and the fifth time that the Vikings have been recognized. 

Last time out, Perdue and the Vikings moved into first place in the #HLWBB standings following a 70-60 victory at Purdue Fort Wayne and an 86-63 win over Green Bay. With the two wins, Cleveland State improved to 20-4 overall this season, marking the third straight 20-win campaign for the Vikings.  

For the week, Perdue averaged 25.0 points per game on a .633 clip from the field – including a .533 mark from three-point range. 

Perdue opened the week with 20 points on 8-for-16 shooting in the win at Purdue Fort Wayne, and followed that up with 30 points on 11-for-14 shooting in the win over Green Bay. The 30-point performance marked a season-high for Perdue, while she has now tallied 20+ points in five straight games and 11 times overall this season. 

Against Green Bay, Perdue went 7-for-8 from behind-the-arc, marking a single-game high for #HLWBB players so far this season. Her seven three-pointers were part of 15 total makes from behind-the-arc for the Vikings on the game, as Cleveland State became one of just four league teams with 15+ three-pointers in a single-game this season.  

For the year, Perdue ranks third among league players averaging 16.9 points per game, while she is now one of two league players to have 400+ points on the season (405 points).  In addition, Perdue leads the league averaging 2.3 three-pointers per game and ranks fifth with a .489 field goal percentage.
