ST. LOUIS – Junior guard Terrion Moore was named the Missouri Valley Conference Newcomer of the Week, as announced by the conference office Monday afternoon. This is the second time this season Moore has earned the honor.
The Kansas City, Kan. native, averaged 14.0 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.0 steals per game in Illinois State's sweep of Drake over the weekend, helping the Redbirds snap the Bulldogs' 15-game winning streak in the series that dated back to 2014. Moore posted 10 points in Friday's 76-68 win over Drake, grabbing five boards, picking up three steals and recording a game-best +14 plus/minus. The junior then paced the Redbirds in Saturday's rematch, going off for a team-high 18 points, shooting 50% (4-of-8) from behind the arc while also adding four rebounds, three steals and two assists. Moore's +17 plus/minus in Saturday's victory was again a game-high.
In her debut season with ISU, Moore is currently ranked fifth in the Valley with 2.0 steals per contest, and 15th in scoring with 11.2 points per game.
UP NEXT: The Redbirds will play at Bradley's Renaissance Coliseum on Thursday at 6 p.m. for the second game of the I-74 rivalry series with the Braves. ISU won the first game in the series, 66-54, at Redbird Arena earlier this season.
