ATLANTA, GA- Millsaps junior forward Miah Brooks has won the Southern Athletic Association player of the week for her efforts in wins over LaGrange and Birmingham Southern. 

The junior has had an impressive start to the season, averaging nearly 17 points and nine rebounds per game. 

Brooks averaged 17 points a contest to go along with 8.5 rebounds, including a double-double in the win over LaGrange. The forward was a mark of efficiency, shooting a stellar 72 percent from the field (15-23) over the two games.

The junior also was a defensive stalwart, helping to hold the LaGrange starting front line to just eight points in the Monday win and Birmingham Southern's to just 14 points combined. She also had three steals in each of the victories. 

Brooks and the Majors moved their record to 3-2 on the season and an important 1-0 in conference. They will stay at home this Saturday as the 6-4 Pensacola Christian Eagles come to the Hangar Dome for a 1pm tip.
