Fairleigh Dickinson University women’s basketball player, Mariyah Laury, has been named the Northeast Conference Co-Player of the Week for the second-consecutive week.
Laury led Fairleigh Dickinson to a sweep of the NEC’s Brooklyn-based contingent this past week and extended her streak of 20-point performances in the process.
The 5-foot-7 guard averaged 26.5 points, 5.0 steals, 4.0 rebounds, and 3.0 assists per contest over the two-game sample that extended the Knights’ win streak to four in a row.
Laury had her best back-to-back performances of the season in terms of shooting the ball last week. The Garden State product was 20-of-35 (.571) shooting over the two road wins. In an upset of LIU Brooklyn on Jan. 16, which was tabbed third in the NEC preseason poll and burst out of the gate to go 11-1 in non-conference play, Laury made 11 of 17 attempts from the field and finished with a game-high 25 points.
Two days prior, FDU’s leading scorer poured in 28 points on 9-for-18 shooting to go along with seven steals in a 70-60 triumph over St. Francis (NY). Laury has scored no fewer than 21 points in any of her last four outing, and no fewer than 25 in each of the last three.
Laury and the Knights host the Western-Pennsylvania duo of Saint Francis PA and Robert Morris this weekend.
