named KCAC “Player of the Week”
McPherson College's Jamie
Brewer was named the KCAC basketball “Player of the Week” for her
play during the week of February 10 through February 16, 2008.
This was the second time this season the 5'6” junior guard from
McPherson, Kan., has won the KCAC award.
Brewer averaged 21.0 points 5.5 rebounds, 1.0 assists, and 4.0 steals
as the Lady Bulldogs swept two games, winning over Friends University
(79-62) on Thursday and at Ottawa University (70-64) Saturday, and
moved into a tie for third in the KCAC race.
 Brewer
opened the week with 18 points, 4 rebounds, and 5 steals in 30 minutes
of play as McPherson turned back Friends for the second time this
season. Brewer put together a personal seven-point run, which she
opened with a driving lay-up, followed by a steal and lay-up, and
capped by a three-pointer, to break open the game five minutes into
the first half and the Bulldogs never trailed again.
On Saturday, Brewer took advantage of Ottawa's focus on the Bulldogs'
inside game to net a season high 24 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists,
and 3 steals in 36 minutes as McPherson completed off their regular
season sweep of the Lady Braves. Jamie scored six points of a 12-0
McPherson run that propelled the Bulldogs to an 11-point first half
lead. Then, early in the second half, Brewer's defense and personal
6-point run kicked off a 17-4 McPherson run after Ottawa had come
back to tie the game eight minutes into the second half.
Brewer's performances against Friends and Ottawa were her 19th and
20th double-digit scoring nights of the season.
Brewer entered the week leading the KCAC in assists, averaging 3.86
per game, and second in steals, 2.50 per game.
The two wins raised the Lady Bulldogs' overall record to 17-7, tying
for the second highest single season win total in school history,
and ties the 2002 team for the most wins in a season by the Lady
Bulldogs in the past 25 years.
Brewer was a 2005 graduate of McPherson High School and is majoring
in elementary education.

an assist as McPherson finished off its game-turning, 13 to 1 run.
On Saturday, Brewer took
advantage of Bethany 's focus on inside defense to burn the Swedes

a collegian.

last six games Brewer has led McPherson in scoring.
