With an upset of a ranked opponent and a come-from-behind win last week at the Puerto Rico Clasico in Ft. Laurderdale, Fla., juniors Madison Guebert and Macy Miller were honored for their outstanding play Monday.

Guebert picks up her second Summit League Player of the Week honor of her career while Miller was named to the CollegeInsider Summit League Mid-Major Player of the Week for the second time this year and for the third time in her career.

Guebert averaged 20 points, 4.0 3-pointers, 3.0 assists and 1.5 steals per game in a pair of wins over No. 23 NC State and Charlotte. The guard also shot 42.9 percent (12 of 28) from the field, 42.1 percent (8-19) from 3-point range and was a perfect 8 for 8 from the free-throw line. Guebert also sank the game-winning 3-point field goal before the final buzzer sounded vs. Charlotte.

Miller averaged 20.5 points, 3.0 3-pointers, 5.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists against the Wolfpack and the 49ers. She shot 50 percent (12 of 24) from the floor, 60 percent (6-10) from long range and 73.3 percent (11-15) from the foul line.
