Powell picked up an additional honor Wednesday as the women's Division II winner in the Heritage Sports Radio Network National Player of the Week Fan Poll for Jan. 11-16.
Powell, a 6-foot forward/center from Milwaukee, Wis., and a graduate of Divine Savior Holy Angels High School, averaged 16 points, 5.5 rebounds, three blocks and 2.5 steals during the Gold Nuggets' 2-0 week which moved them into sole possession of first place in the GCAC. She scored 16 points and had a career-high-tying four blocked shots against Spring Hill and had 16 points and a career-high-tying four steals against SUNO.
Harvey, a 6-3 junior guard from Amite, La., and a graduate of Amite High School, averaged 21.5 points in two games and shot 61 percent from the floor and 67 percent from 3-point range (8-of-12) during the Gold Rush's 1-1 week. Harvey scored 18 points against Spring Hill and a career-high 25 against SUNO and made a career-best four 3-pointers in each game.
Powell collected 74.2 percent of the votes to win the HSRN award, which is given to athletes representing Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). Harvey collected 48.6 percent to narrowly miss winning the men's Division II award.
Both Xavier teams will continue their GCAC schedules this week with a doubleheader Thursday at Mobile (women at 5:30 p.m., men at 7:30 p.m.) and a home doubleheader Saturday against William Carey at The Barn (women at 5 p.m, men at 7 p.m.).
