Malone University freshman point guard Robin Campbell was named the Great Midwest Athletic Conference (G-MAC) Women's Basketball Player of the Week for the first time in her promising career on Monday following a pair of outstanding individual performances in two games for the Pioneers last week in which she averaged a double-double.
 
Against first-place Cedarville on Wednesday, Campbell, a native of Alliance, Ohio (Marlington High School) scored a game-high 17 points, including an 11-for-11 performance at the free-throw line. The 5'4" guard also grabbed a game-high eight rebounds, handed out three assists, and recorded a steal, although the Pioneers ultimately lost to the Yellow Jackets, 79-61.
 
Malone bounced back in a big way on Saturday as Campbell sparked the Pioneers to their fifth win of the season, a 72-62 triumph over visiting Tiffin. Once again, Campbell paced her team with a game-high 19 points and she recorded her second double-double of the season, coming down with a career-high 12 rebounds. She also nearly achieved the rare triple-double, finishing with a career-high eight assists – all eight of which came during the first half.
 
Across the two games, Campbell averaged 18 points, 10 rebounds, and 5.5 assists on her way to the G-MAC Player of the Week honor. On the season, she is third in the G-MAC in minutes played (35.4 mpg), fifth in assists (3.6 apg), ninth in scoring (13.4 ppg), and 11th in rebounding (5.9). She leads the Pioneers in all four categories.
 
Malone, who is 5-9 on the season and 3-5 in the G-MAC, travels to North Canton this Saturday, January 12th to meet rival Walsh for a critical conference matchup.
