iupui's jernisha cann: 1,000-point club last night; player of the week today.

IUPUI's Jernisha Cann got what she deserved today: Summit League Player of the Week Honors:

Cann earns her third Player of the Week award this season after averaging a double-double in two Jaguar victories last week over Oral Roberts (69-66) and Centenary (97-45). She averaged 18.5 points, 14.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 2.0 steals per game, while shooting 58 percent (15-of-26). Against Centenary, Cann recorded her 1,000 career point to become the 18th player in IUPUI history to reach that benchmark. Her 17 rebounds against the Golden Eagles were the second-highest single-game performance in the league this season, and she now has 11 double-doubles, including three straight.

Who's got the inside track on Player of the Year? Good question. Lisa Bue might have a shot, despite NDSU being a lame duck all season. Cann certainly has a shot. We'll know more in a couple weeks.
