OKLAHOMA CITY (Dec. 20, 2018) – A 44-point outburst that set both Heartland Conference and Oklahoma Christian single-game records earned Addy Clift recognition Thursday as the Heartland's women's basketball player of the week.

Clift, a senior guard from Kiowa, averaged 31.7 points per game in three games against Southern Nazarene (an 89-77 loss), Kansas Christian (a 99-21 win) and Eastern New Mexico (a 97-96 win).

In the loss at SNU on Friday, Clift poured in 33 points (her third straight game of more than 30 points) to go with six rebounds, a career-high five steals and her first blocked shot of the season. The next day, in just 14 minutes of action against Kansas Christian, she scored 18 points (going 3 of 6 from 3-point range) and grabbed six more rebounds.

During the three-game stretch, she became OC's career 3-point leader with 273 and moved up two spots to No. 4 on the Heartland scoring list with 1,700 career points. She ranks third this season in Division II in scoring at 25.8 points per game.
