MOORHEAD, Minn. (2/12/24)---Concordia junior Makayla Anderson (Bismarck, N.D./Bismarck Century HS) earned MIAC Player of the Week honors for the second straight week.
Last week, Anderson was named the MIAC Defensive Player of the Week and on Monday she earned MIAC Offensive Player of the Week honors.
Anderson becomes the first Cobber player to take home MIAC weekly honors more than one time in a season since the 2020-21 season when teammate Emily Beseman won Player of the Week honors on Feb. 22 and Mar. 15.
Anderson claimed her latest MIAC Player of the Week honor by averaging 18.7 points in Concordia's three wins last week. She also averaged 7.7 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 2.3 steals in helping the Cobbers clinch a Top 2 MIAC finish and a home game for the conference semifinals.
Anderson's biggest contribution to the Cobbers came in the team's 73-65 win over No.6-ranked Gustavus. She went 7-for-14 from the floor and 7-for-9 from the free throw line in posting a team-high 21 points. The CC win ended the Gusties' 32-game win streak against conference opponents.
Anderson started the week by putting up a double-double at St. Benedict. She finished the week by scoring 19 points on a 8-for-12 shooting performance in Concordia's 90-69 win at Augsburg.
