Bates senior captain Meghan Graff was honored by three different organizations, highlighted by being named the NESCAC Women's Basketball Co-Player of the Week on Monday, after a pair of outstanding performances for the Bobcats.
Graff (South Portland, Maine) poured in 21 points on 9-11 shooting and dished out four assists in an 84-50 win over UMaine-Farmington last Tuesday. Then Graff finished one shy of her career-high with 44 points on 17-29 shooting, knocking down 5-10 from three-point range in an overtime loss at Tufts on Saturday.
In the Tufts game, Graff surpassed Emily King '00 as Bates' all-time leading scorer. She currently has 1,507 career points and is averaging 22.3 points per game this season, tops in the NESCAC.
This is the fourth NESCAC Player of the Week honor of Graff's career. She shares the award this week with Tufts' Maggie Russell.
On Tuesday, Graff was named to the D3hoops.com Team of the Week, the first Bobcat to earn the honor since Meredith Kelly '14 in 2013. In addition, Graff was named the Maine Women's Basketball Coaches Association Player of the Week for the second time this season.
A D3hoops.com preseason 1st Team All-American and the reigning NESCAC Player of the Year, Graff was the last Bobcat to win NESCAC Player of the Week. She most recently earned the honor following Bates winning the program's first NESCAC tournament championship last February.
The Bobcats had their scheduled game at Southern Maine postponed Monday due to snow. They return to action this Friday when Middlebury comes to town for a 7pm tip.
