KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Fort Hays State junior forward Belle Barbieri<\/a> has been named MIAA Women’s Basketball co-Athlete of the Week for her performance on the road last week, announced Monday (Feb. 11) by the league office. Barbieri averaged 16.0 points and 6.5 points in a pair of victories for the fifth-ranked women’s basketball team, knocking down more than 70 percent of her shots from the floor (12-of-17).<\/p>\n

The Abilene, Kan. native got the Tigers off to a hot start against Pittsburg State on Thursday, scoring nine points in the first 10 minutes to nearly outscore the Gorillas herself (11 points). She followed that up with a career day on Saturday, totaling 21 points on 8-of-10 shooting in a win over Missouri Southern. Barbieri finished the game one rebound shy of a double-double, including six boards on the offensive end.<\/p>\n

It is the third time a Tiger has earned the weekly award this season after Tatyana Legette<\/a> picked up the honor two times.<\/p>\n

The league-leading Tigers will return home for the first time in nearly three weeks on Thursday (Feb. 14) when they take on the second-ranked team in the conference, Lindenwood. First tip is set for 5:30 p.m. from Gross Memorial Coliseum.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
