Macon, Ga. – Two dazzling performances cap off the past week as Gardner-Webb's
Brittany Harmon and Jacksonville's DaVina Hamilton each earned Atlantic Sun
Player of the Week honors Monday as announced by the conference office.
Harmon had a great week, nearly pulling off triple-doubles in games against
Stetson and Mercer. The senior forward averaged 9.5 points, 12 rebounds and
eight blocks per game, including a record-setting nine blocks against the Hatters.
Harmon scored 11 points and had 12 rebounds in the 61-47 victory. The win also
made number 300 for head coach Rick Reeves.
In the win over Mercer, Harmon had eight points, 12 rebounds and seven blocks
in 26 minutes of play. This marks the Virginia Beach, Va. native's second career
Player of the Week award. She is majoring in biology.
Earning her first Player of the Week award, Hamilton averaged 17 points, two
rebounds, three steals and three assists per game in conference action against
ETSU and Kennesaw State.
The sophomore guard helped the Dolphins set program records for consecutive
home wins (8) and conference wins (10) with a 2-0 record last week. Against
second-place ETSU, Hamilton finished with 13 points, three assists, no turnovers
and a game-high four steals including the game clinching steal in ETSU's final
possesion to give the Dolphins an 83-79 win.
Against KSU, the Miami, Fla. native scored a career-high 21 points, 17 of which
came in the second half, three assists and two steals for a 74-57 win. She finished
9-of-15 from the floor, including a career-best 3-of-4 from beyond the arc.
