Ruiz-Tucker had quite the week for the Bison that posted two conference wins. On Senior Day last Saturday, Ruiz-Tucker made 8-of-9 shots from the field and finished with 18 points and six assists in 26 minutes in a huge win for the buff and blue. Ruiz-Tucker was a perfect 8 for 8 from the field during last week's mid-week game at home against Penn St.-Berks. She led the team with 16 points scored in that rout as she only played 22 minutes. For the week she tallied 34 points, nine rebounds, nine assists, three steals and one block. The veteran guard shot 94 percent from the field (16 for 17). 

This is the first career Player of the Week award for Ruiz-Tucker.
