Doogan Earns USBWA National Player of the Week Honor, Named to NCAA Starting Five

RICHMOND, Va. – University of Richmond forward Maggie Doogan has been named Ann Meyers Drysdale National Player of the Week by the U.S. Basketball Writers Association after producing a dominant two-game stretch highlighted by a program-record performance against Davidson. In addition, Doogan was also named to the NCAA Starting Five for the second time this season.

Doogan averaged 33.0 points, 11.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game while shooting 58.5 percent from the field, 55.6 percent from three-point range and 88.9 percent at the free throw line.

She authored one of the most memorable performances in program history in a triple-overtime win over Davidson, scoring 48 points to set a new Richmond single-game scoring record. The total marked the highest single-game scoring total in Atlantic 10 Conference history and an NCAA Division I season high. Doogan also broke the program record for field goals made, finishing 17-of-28 from the field, including 8-of-12 from three-point range, while adding 13 rebounds for her 18th career double-double.

Earlier in the week, Doogan posted 18 points, 10 rebounds and six assists in a home win over Fordham. Across the two games, she totaled 66 points and 23 rebounds, anchoring Richmond's offense in both victories.

The triple-overtime contest marked Richmond's first since March 5, 1999, while the Spiders handed Davidson its first Atlantic 10 Conference loss of the season and extended their league home winning streak to 27 games.

Doogan was also named Atlantic 10 Conference Player of the Week for her performance, marking her sixth weekly conference honor of the season and the 12th of her career.

Richmond returns to action Wednesday with a 7 p.m. road game at Dayton before hosting its Operation: Code Red game against VCU on Jan. 18 at noon inside the Robins Center. The rivalry matchup will air nationally on CBS Sports Network, presented by CarMax.
