Harding duo honored by GAC

Guard Rylie Marshall of Harding University was honored Monday as the Great American Conference’s Player of the Week, while forward Sage Hawley was named the conference’s women’s co-Player of the Week. Marshall set career highs with 17 points — including a 70-foot shot at the end of regulation to tie the game — and four steals in Harding’s overtime victory over the University of Arkansas-Fort Smith. Hawley, who shared the award with Caitlin Kobiske of Southeastern Oklahoma State, led Harding to two 20-point home wins. She scored 25 points, adding 6 rebounds, 5 blocked shots and 4 assists in a victory over Cameron (Okla.). She followed that up with 21 points and 10 rebounds in a victory over Christian Brothers.
