Morningside junior forward Sophia Peppers (Exira, Iowa) picked up honors from the Great Plains Athletic Conference for the week of Nov. 30-Dec. 6.

Peppers averaged 23 points, six rebounds, three assists, a blocked shot and a half, and two steals per contest in a well-rounded week that enabled Morningside to run their win streak to five. Her back-to-back 20-point-plus efforts ran a personal string of such outings to three. Peppers was pivotal down the stretch in a win over Dordt Dec. 2, as she hit four straight free throw attempts and tallied eight points in the final seven minutes.
