University of Southern Indiana senior forward/center Anna Hackert has been named the Great Lakes Valley Conference Player of the Week in women’s basketball, it was announced by the league office Monday. 

Hackert averaged 17.0 points on 61.5 percent from the field and 9.5 rebounds per game to help lead the Screaming Eagles to wins over GLVC West Division foes Quincy and Truman State. 

Hackert began the week by pouring in a game-high 18 points and nine rebounds in USI’s 76-55 victory over Quincy. She went 9-of-13 from the floor (.692) as USI earned its third straight win and built a two-game lead in the race for a first-round bye in the GLVC Championship Tournament. 

She returned to the court Saturday to record her school-record tying 16th double-double of the year in USI’s 65-53 win over Truman State. Hackert, who went 7-of-13 from the field (.538) to finish with 16 points, corralled five of her game-high 10 rebounds in the final five minutes as she earned her school-record 41st career double-double.

On the season, Hackert leads USI with 15.3 points and 11.4 rebounds per game. With 913 career rebounds, Hackert is closing in on USI’s all-time mark of 961, held by USI and GLVC Hall of Famer LeAnn Freeland.

The Evansville, Indiana, native earns back-to-back weekly honors, which marks the fourth of the season and the seventh of her career.  In addition to last week, she was also recognized this year on Nov. 24 and Dec. 15, 2014.
