Carter picked up the LSC Defensive Player of the Week award for the fourth time this week to go with the LSC Offensive Player of the Week award she has also collected earlier this season.  She has posted 11 double-doubles in 21 games this season (11th in Division II).  The sophomore from Angleton is second on the team and ninth in the LSC with a 12.4 scoring average, while standing third in the LSC with a 50.8 field goal percentage (95-of-187).  She leads the squad, is second in the LSC and 20th nationally with 10.2 rebounds and is second in the conference with 2.4 steals a contest (80th in Division II).

Sophomore Shatoia Gober of Waco, Texas/Midway contributes 9.5 points a contest to go with her 5.5 rebounds and 1.2 steals an outing.  She is also shooting 47.9 percent from the floor (81-of-169).

MSU is averaging 68.9 points with 39.6 rebounds a game.  The Mustangs allow opponents 58.3 points a contest.

The Mustangs women are in their annual Play 4 Kay/Cancer Awareness week this week.
 
Corresponding with the same week of the WBCA's sponsored campaign honoring the late North Carolina State coach Kay Yow, the Mustangs will don pink uniforms (donated by Texas Oncology) for games at Ligon Coliseum Feb. 9, 13 and 16.
 
Fans have the opportunity to place silent auction bids to purchase the uniforms, along with other selected items, with the proceeds being donated to fund cancer research.
 
It's the third year MSU has supported this effort.
