FARMINGTON, Utah (December 28, 2021) – Southern Utah's Cherita Daugherty has been named this week's ROAR Organic Big Sky Women's Basketball Player of the Week for her performance last week in the Thunderbirds win over in-state opponent Dixie State.
In the 95-58 victory, Daugherty led the T-Birds with 28 points, nine rebounds, three assists, and two steals.
The senior guard shot 75 percent from the floor on 9-of 12 shooting. She also drained 4-of-5 from three-point range and went 6-of-7 from the charity stripe.
Daugherty's 28 points against the Trailblazers was a new career-high, and it marked her highest point total of the season. Her performance was also the second time this season that the Vancouver, Washington native eclipsed the 20-point mark in a game.
Daugherty is currently ranked 14th in the conference in scoring with an average of 11.7 points per game and 14th in rebounding with six rebounds per game.
