For the fourth time this season, sophomore guard Dyaisha Fair has been named MAC Player of the Week.
Fair is averaging 24.8 points per game this season, good for sixth best in the nation. She also ranks in the top 25 in free throws, free throw attempts, assists, steals, field goals made, three-pointers made and total points. She has scored in double digits in all but one game this season, including four 30-point performances. Fair is one of only four players in all of Division I to average at least 20 points, six rebounds and five assists per game and one of eleven players to have recorded a triple-double.
The Rochester native averaged 29 points, five rebounds, six assists and four steals in two games against Ball State last week. Despite UB’s 76-63 loss to the Cardinals on Wednesday, Fair led the Bulls in scoring with 22 points and tallied six assists, four steals and three rebounds. The sophomore led a comeback victory for the Bulls in Muncie, IN on Saturday by scoring a career-high 36 points while grabbing eight rebounds, seven assists and four steals.
The Bulls head to Ohio on Wednesday, Feb. 24 to face the Kent State Golden Flashes.
