ST. LOUIS, Mo. - After another impressive week, University of Evansville women's basketball junior Je'Naiya Davis has been named Missouri Valley Conference newcomer of the week, it was announced in a release from the Conference office on Monday afternoon.

Becoming a trend, Davis again put in an impressive scoring performance this week. In an 89-83 road victory over Bellarmine, Davis became one of 13 players this season with two performances of 29 points-or-more, dropping 29 against the Knights, including a 12-14 effort at the charity stripe. Following up the performances, Davis scored in double-digits again with 12 points in just 21 minutes, adding six rebounds in the 30-point victory over Morehead State. On the season, Davis has scored in double-figures in all six contests, averaging a team-best 20 points per game.

The honor is the second of the season for Davis, who previously earned the honor on November 29, and the third-straight MVC newcomer honor that an Aces player has received after Davis' on Nov. 29 and senior Myia Clark received the recognition last week.

Evansville returns to the court on Sunday at Chicago State for a 1 PM matchup in Chicago, Ill.
