A 5-6 junior from Tucson, Arizona, Bria Medina earned this honor for the third time already this season as she has scored at least 20 points in each of the first seven contests and ranks second nationally in scoring (27.0 ppg). In a loss against Lawrence on Tuesday, she tallied 20 points while playing all 40 minutes. Four days later, she was unstoppable in an 88-52 triumph over Monmouth, pouring in 31 points โ€” her third 30-point game of the season and fifth of her career โ€” on 10-of-13 from the floor (.789) and a perfect 11-of-11 at the foul line. The last Prairie Fire to convert that many free throws without a miss was Jarrelyn McCall against Lake Forest in January of 2018. Medina was also named the Midwest Conference Performer of the Week for her exploits.
