SEWARD, Neb. – For the second time this season, junior Philly Lammers has been awarded by the GPAC. On Tuesday (Feb. 12), the conference named Lammers the GPAC/Hauff Mid-America Sports Women’s Basketball Player of the Week. She garnered the same honor on Dec. 18. Lammers also earned an NAIA National Player of the Week accolade last season.
An Omaha native, Lammers played a major role in leading the top-ranked Bulldogs to a pair of wins last week over teams ranked in the top 15 of NAIA Division II. She put up 18 points in wins over both No. 14 Morningside and No. 5 Dakota Wesleyan. In the game at Morningside, the All-American also added 11 rebounds and seven steals while recording the 23rd double-double of her career. She also grabbed five rebounds and swiped three steals versus Dakota Wesleyan. For the week, Lammers went 11-for-23 (.478) from the floor and 14-for-16 (.875) from the free throw line.
It took Lammers only two seasons to surpass 1,000 career points. Through her first 103 collegiate games, Lammers has amassed 1,431 points, 755 rebounds, 247 steals and 135 blocked shots. On the program’s all-time lists, she ranks eighth in rebounding, ninth in steals and 12th in scoring. This season she is averaging 14.9 points, 6.4 rebounds, 2.7 steals and 1.4 blocks per game. Her field goal percentage of 57.6 ranks seventh best in the nation.
Lammers and company will conclude regular-season action this week. The team’s home finale will take place at 7 p.m. CST on Wednesday when College of Saint Mary (2-25, 1-19 GPAC) visits Walz Arena.
