February 18, 2007
 MONMOUTH, Ill. – Monmouth College junior Melisssa Gorki (Arlington Hts., Ill./Buffalo Grove) helped keep the Fighting Scots in the playoff race last week and earned the Midwest Conference Performer of the Week honor in women’s basketball.
Gorski averaged 18.5 points and 6.5 rebounds per game in a pair of crucial games. In a 72-49 win over Knox, the junior guard scored eight points, dished out five assists and pulled down six rebounds in just 25 minutes of play. She posted a career-high 29 points on 9-of-14 shooting and was 10-of-10 from the free throw line, including 6-of-6 in the final minute of an 81-71 win over Illinois College. Gorksi also pulled down seven rebounds to avenge an earlier loss to the Lady Blues.
The Scots can earn a berth in the MWC playoffs with a pair of wins this week, coupled with a Beloit loss to Ripon this weekend.
