Conway, Ark. – On Tuesday, Riley Brady was named to the D3hoops.com Team of the Week for the week of January 4th.
Brady had a historic weekend and helped Hendrix to a 2-0 start to conference play in a home and home matchup against Ozarks. Against the Eagles on Friday, the junior put up 14 points and 17 rebounds. On Sunday, she made history, posting a 21-31 double-double in a 75-73 thriller. In addition to her rebounding efforts, Brady also averaged 2.3 steals and 0.3 blocks per game, including six steals, tying the SCAC single game high this season, in the Warriors win over Ozarks on Friday. Her 31 rebounds set a new single-game record for both Hendrix women's basketball and the SCAC.
Brady is the first SCAC women's student athlete to earn D3hoops.com National TOTW recognition since Colorado College's Zoë Tomlinson was recognized in January of the 2024-25 season, and is the first Hendrix representative to have earned this honor since Sara Dyslin did so during the 2016-17 season.
In just eight contests this year, Brady has accounted for four 20-plus rebound performances and has already imprinted her name in the conference record book with three top six single game performances in SCAC history in terms of rebounds, highlighted by her record breaking 31on Sunday. Her 31 rebounds broke the old mark set by former Hendrix standout Jamie Tate who grabbed 29 against Austin College in 2012. In four games over the break, Brady averaged 15 points, 20 rebounds, an assist, and two steals.
Brady leads both the SCAC and all of NCAA Division III on the season, averaging 20.0 rebounds per game.
Earlier this week, Brady was also named SCAC Defensive Player of the Week for the third time this season and in back-to-back weeks.
The Team of the Week is D3hoops.com's weekly honor roll, in its 29th season of recognizing the top performance at each of the five positions from the previous week. Players are selected from nominations from their school's sports information directors.
