ST. LOUIS, Mo. – Junior forward Anna Miller became the third different Drake player to take home the MVC Player of the Week award this season, the league announced this afternoon.

Miller averaged a double-double of 20.0 points and 15.5 rebounds to go along with four blocks as Drake swept a pivotal weekly slate. In Thursday’s win over Missouri State, Miller scored 19 points and grabbed 12 rebounds while dishing out two assists. She topped that performance on Sunday with a 21-point, 19-rebound effort in a thrilling win over UNI. 11 of her boards against the Panthers came in a massive second half.

Her lines were good enough for her 11th and 12th double-doubles of the season. She has also logged nine double-doubles in MVC play this year.

The Rochester, Minn. native is one of four Bulldogs to average double-digit points and leads the entire conference with 9.9 rebounds per game and 2.8 blocks per game.

Miller and the Bulldogs will conclude their home schedule this weekend with matchups against UIC on Feb. 29 and Valpo on Mar. 2. Drake will celebrate Senior Day following Saturday’s tilt with the Beacons.
