SPARTANBURG, S.C. – Wofford’s Daniella Motley has been named the Southern Conference Women’s Basketball Player of the Week for all games through December 17, her second honor of the season.

Motley, a center/forward from Christiansburg, Va., earned her third double-double of the season in Wofford’s 58-52 win over Alabama. It was her second in as many games with 13 points and 15 rebounds against the Tide and her 15 rebounds tied a career-high.  She leads the SoCon in rebounds per game at 10.5 and is one of only two players in the conference that averages a double-double on the season.  Motley averages 10.8 points per game. 

The Terriers were 0-8 heading into the match up against teams from the SEC before the Monday’s milestone win.  It is the program’s second win over a program from the BCS. Wofford defeated Louisiana-Lafayette on November 16, 2001.

Other top performers last week were Davidson’s Sophia Aleksandravicius, Elon’s Kelsey Evans, UNCG’s Lucy Mason, and Chattanooga’s Ashlen Dewart.
