ATLANTA, GA- Millsaps' junior point guard Samantha Perez was named the Southern Athletic Association's women's basketball player of the week for her efforts against Rhodes and Hendrix. 

Despite two tough road losses, the junior guard set a pair of career highs. Against Rhodes on Friday night, Perez went for a team high 25 points on 10-of-16 shooting. Logging all 40 minutes, the Miami native also grabbed five rebounds and dished out an assist. 

On Sunday, Perez bested her short-lived career high with 27 in a loss to Hendrix. Perez was once again highly efficient, shooting 12-of-17 from the field. Perez dished out five assists, two rebounds and a steal. 

Perez is having a phenomenal season as the Majors' point guard. The junior has upped her scoring average to 11 points per game, but more impressively, ranks fourth in the nation with a 2.7 to 1 assist to turnover ratio. She is also playing 35 minutes a game, second in the conference. 

Perez and the Majors have closed out the road portion of their 2014 season. The first of their four game home stand starts Friday with a Valentine's Day date with the Sewanee Tigers. Tip time is set for 6pm.
