It will depend on how well West Texas A&M does the rest of the season, but senior guard Emily Brister is making her case for first-team all-America honors and possibly NCAA Division II Player of the Year honors. Brister made another example of ACU Saturday night scoring 35 points for the Lady Buffs as they rolled to a 91-65 victory over Abilene Christian.
Brister is quick smart and beats you on both ends of the floor. Her 35 points and eight rebounds were impressive enough, but the fact that she led with six steals on the defensive end just added insult to injury. She can do it all, she can drive, she has a mid-range jumper and is among the LSC leaders in 3-point field goals made and 3-point field goal percentage. Oh, and she's a team player too, leading the Lady Buffs with five assists Saturday night.
The senior has earned honorable mention all-America honors in her previous three seasons, however, the WBCA would be hard-pressed to find a guard with better numbers if she and WTAMU continue at this pace. After Saturday's win, she'll be averaging more than 25 points, 5.6 rebounds, four assists, and 3.8 steals.
ACU suffered its sixth-straight loss to WTAMU at the First United Bank Center.
