SELECTED NOTABLE PERFORMANCES

Against WT, Duncan paced LCU with five points in each quarter, including a three-pointer in each frame, and finished with a game-high 20 points.

Duncan not only was dialed in for five three-pointers on the week but was 6-of-8 from inside the arc.
 
    Dyani Robinson, Texas A&M-Commerce, scored 12 points in each of the Lions' two wins last week. She also averaged 5.5 assists and three rebounds in the two games. Robinson dished out eight assists against SAGU on Monday. A&M-Commerce is 8-0 on the season.

    Evelyn Quiroz, Texas A&M International, had an all-around great game offensively for the Dustdevils. She finished with 12 points thanks to 8-for-11 shooting from the free-throw line, to go alongside five rebounds and an early career-high nine assists against St. Leo.
 
    Payton Brown, Angelo State, imposed herself on the defensive side of the ball, grabbing three steals as the Rambelles picked up their first win of the season over St. Edward's. Brown led the defensive effort, forcing the Hilltoppers into 21 turnovers while helping hold them to 59 points, ten points below their season average. The Hilltoppers only shot 35.2 percent from the field, well below their season average of 42.9 percent on the season.
