Drury University’s Molly Carter (Springfield, Mo.) is the Great Lakes Valley Conference Women’s Basketball Player of the Week. Carter, a senior guard for the Panthers, guided her team to a pair of road wins in league play, including a thrilling overtime victory at Missouri S&T on Thursday.

Carter scored eight points in the final 27 seconds and canned the game-tying three-pointer with three ticks left on the clock in regulation in Thursday’s 79-69 overtime win at Missouri S&T. She added five of her game-high 30 points in the extra session to help the Panthers pull out a come-from-behind victory after trailing by nine points with just 32 seconds to play in regulation.

She finished 12-for-22 (.545) from the field and hit three three-pointers in the victory. Carter also dished out four assists and had five steals.

In Drury’s 71-68 win at Missouri-St. Louis on Saturday, Carter scored a game-high 18 points on 4-for-10 (.400) shooting. She also had four steals, four rebounds and three assists in the victory.

On the week, Carter averaged 24 points, 4.5 steals, 3.5 assists and 2.0 rebounds per game. She shot 50 percent from the field, 35.7 percent from the three-point line and 64.7 percent from the free throw line.

She is now averaging 14.3 points, 3.8 steals, 3.95 assists and 3.7 rebounds per game on the season. Carter leads the league in steals, is fifth in assists and eighth in scoring.

Drury (19-2, 11-2) is now alone atop the GLVC West Division standings, one-game ahead of Missouri S&T. The Panthers have won ten straight games and will next travel to Rockhurst on Tuesday.
