Rhandi Ball, a 6-foot-1 senior for the Lady Statesmen basketball program, has been named the GoStatesmen.com Female Student-Athlete of the Week for the period ending Monday, Jan. 5. The Pontotoc, Mississippi was also named the Gulf South Conference Player of the Week on Tuesday.
Ball scored 21 points, grabbed nine rebounds and dished out four assists in a win over North Alabama last week. She went 7-12 (58-percent) from the field and scored the decisive layup with 11 seconds left in the game as the Lady Statemen erased a 20-point first-half deficit. Ball scored 18 points and collected nine rebounds in DSU's 67-49 win over Alabama Huntsville on Monday night, helping the Lady Statesmen sweep a two-game league road trip.
Ball is second on the team in scoring (12.7 ppg.) and rebounding (6.0 rpg.) She entered 2013-14 as a preseason All-GSC selection and earned spots on both the Academic Honor Roll and All-GSC Academic Team. She played and started all 30 games last season.
