SIOUX FALLS South Dakota States Paige Meyer has been named the TicketSmarter Summit League Peak Performer of the Week, conference officials announced Monday.
Meyer scored 23 points in both gameslast week as the Jackrabbits went 1-1, falling to No. 21/22 Washington State 69-64 at home before rebounding with a 78-59 road win at Northern Iowa.
In the game against the visiting Cougars, Meyer went 7-for-15 from the field and 9-for-9 from the foul stripe to record her season-high scoring output. The Albany, Minn. Native scored 12 of SDSUs 24 fourth-quarter points as the Jackrabbits trimmed a 10-point deficit down to one but could never gain the advantage. She also added three rebounds, three assists and two steals in SDSUs second game against a Top-25 opponent this season.
In the 19-point win over the Panthers, Meyer matched her season-high on 8-of-13 shooting from the field and another perfect effort from the foul line where she made all six of her attempts. Meyer dished out four assists in the win over UNI and finished the week shooting 54 percent from the field and 100 percent from the charity stripe.
This is the second weekly honor of Meyers career.
