Athlete of the Week:
Keimarya Rivera | Oglethorpe | SR | Canton, GA – Oglethorpe senior Keimarya Rivera became the SAA's all-time leading scorer this week with another pair of strong outings to lead the Stormy Petrels in two road wins. She needed only 14 points in the first game of the week to break the record, and she did that in the closing minute of the third quarter. It was a tie game at that point, and Rivera finished the fourth quarter with eight more clutch points to help Oglethorpe pull away. She finished with 23 points and seven rebounds. Rivera followed that up with a 24-point, 12-rebound effort in an upset win over Millsaps in the regular-season finale, marking her 11th double-double of the year.
