Fifth year senior Millan continues stellar season

January 19, 2021

 

For the second consecutive week and fourth time already this season, Maine fifth year senior guard Blanca Millan has earned the America East Player of the Week honors.

Millan, a native of Spain, has averaged 22.7 points per game along with 8.2 rebounds and 2.4 steals per contest on the season returning this year after missing most of 2019-20 with a serious knee injury. This past weekend she averaged 21.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 2.0 steals in leading the Black Bears to a pair of road wins over Albany. She is now tied with Rachel Bouchard with 12 weekly honors, the second most all-time, and is five away from tying Cindy Blodgett for the most ever (17).

Millan and the Black Bears will try to continue the great season when Maine (10-1, 7-1 America East) visits Binghamton this Saturday and Sunday (1/23&1/24) at 2 p.m. trying to improve on a five game winning streak.
