The Idaho senior scores her third career honor

01/30/2018

OGDEN, Utah—Idaho senior post Geraldine McCorkell has been named the Big Sky Women's Basketball Player of the Week the conference announced on Tuesday.

McCorkell, a senior from Melbourne, Australia, averaged 28.0 points and 9.5 rebounds per game last week, helping Idaho to just the second road sweep over Northern Colorado and North Dakota in the last six years.

She opened the week with her third straight double-double in Greeley. She posted 22 points and 10 boards in the Vandals' 79-71 win. McCorkell went perfect from the floor, hitting 9-of-9 from the field.

McCorkell totaled a career-high 34 points in Idaho's 78-64 win at UND. She hit a career-high five 3's in the win. She was nearly perfect from the free-throw line, hitting 9-of-10.

In all, McCorkell shot 67.9 percent from the field and went 6-for-11 (54.5%) from behind the arc. She currently ranks fourth in field goal percentage (50.9%), ninth in scoring (16.3) and 10th in rebounding (7.2) in the Big Sky this season.

This is McCorkell's second award of the season and third career Player of the Week honor. She is one of two Vandals to earn conference recognition this season. Junior Mikayla Ferenz has been recognized twice this season.

The Vandals are at home this week for a pair of Big Sky games. They start the week on Thursday with Portland State (6 p.m. PT) and will take on Sacramento State on Saturday (2 p.m. PT).
