Amanda Himes, a member of
the Mount Vernon Nazarene University women’s
basketball team, has been selected as the
American Mideast Conference Player of the
Week for her performance during the week of
February 18-24. This is the third time this
season that Himes has earned this honor.

averaged 18.5 points and 15.0 rebounds for
the week as the Lady Cougars went 1-1. She
began the week with 17 points and 14
rebounds in a 60-51 loss to NAIA Division II
No. 21 University of Rio Grande. Then, she
scored 20 points and grabbed a career-high
