Edward Waters University point guard Imani Harris has been named SIAC Player of the Week after turning in a stellar performance that helped guide the EWU Lady Tigers to a 2–0 showing in SIAC play.
The junior guard delivered an impressive all-around week, averaging 14.5 points, 4.0 assists, 3.5 rebounds, and 2.0 steals while shooting 45.5 percent from the field in 26 minutes per game, serving as the engine behind the Lady Tigers' offense on the road.
Harris set the tone in EWU's 58–43 road victory over Spring Hill, finishing with 11 points, five assists, three rebounds, and two steals in just 21 minutes of action. She shot an efficient 5-for-9 from the field, knocking down a three-pointer while consistently creating opportunities for her teammates.
The Bronx, New York native followed with another strong showing in EWU's 71–42 road win at Albany State, pouring in 18 points to go along with three assists, four rebounds, and two steals. Harris logged 31 minutes, shooting 5-for-13 from the floor as she helped the Lady Tigers pull away early and cruise to the conference victory.
On the season, Harris has established herself as one of the SIAC's premier floor generals. She currently leads the conference in total assists (39) and assists per game (4.3), while ranking second in assist-to-turnover ratio (2.6). In addition, Harris sits inside the top 20 in the SIAC in both scoring and steals, highlighting her two-way impact.
With her poise, playmaking ability, and leadership at the point, Harris continues to be a catalyst for the Lady Tigers as they build momentum in conference play.
The Lady Tigers currently sit second in the SIAC East Division Standings with a 5-2 mark in conference play and a 6-3 showing overall. EWU welcomes Miles and Tuskegee for a pair of home contests this week on Wednesday and Friday. Tipoff for both games is at 5:30 pm inside the Adams-Jenkins Complex on the campus of Edward Waters.
