NORTH PLAYER OF THE WEEK - Rachel McInerney, Ferris State
Ferris State University senior center Rachel McInerney had another big afternoon as she led the Bulldogs to a decisive 75-59 GLIAC home win over visiting Lake Superior State on Sunday (Jan. 28) afternoon in FSU's Jim Wink Arena. McInerney paced FSU with a game-high 18 points to go with seven rebounds, three blocks, two assists and two steals as the Bulldogs won their 11th game of the year, including three of the last four overall.
