Chicago, Ill. - Roosevelt University sophomore Casey Davis was honored on Monday as the Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference Division I Women's Basketball Player of Week. The 5-foot-8 guard led the Lakers to a 2-1 record last week, averaging 23.3 points per game while shattering the single-game scoring record in a victory over Trinity International on Jan. 16.
 
Davis opened a rigorous stretch of three games in six days with a school record 33 points in an 87-77 win over the Trojans. She broke the previous high-water mark of 31 points set by teammate Peggie Parhas versus Stephens College on Jan. 6, 2012. Davis was 12-for-17 from the field and 8-for-9 from the foul line versus TIU while adding four rebounds and four assists.
 
The County Club Hills, Ill., native backed up that performance with a 26-point effort, going 11-for-18 from the floor, to lead Roosevelt to a 78-63 road win over Holy Cross on Jan. 19. Davis then capped the week with 11 points, three rebounds and two assists in a setback at the hands of Judson on Jan. 21.
 
For the week, Davis shot 54 percent from the field and averaged 3.0 rebounds and 2.3 assists to go with her 23.3 points per game. For the season, she is now averaging a CCAC-best 16.9 points per game. This marks the first time that Davis has earned CCAC Player of the Week honors.
 
Davis and the rest of her Roosevelt teammates will be back in action on Wednesday, Jan. 25, playing host to IU South Bend at Attack Athletics at 5:00 p.m.
