Harrison named OVC Player & Newcomer of the Week​​​​​​​

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – University of Southern Indiana junior guard Damoni Harrison has been recognized as the Ohio Valley Conference Player and Newcomer of the Week awards. The weekly awards are voted on by the OVC’s communications directors.

The awards are the first of Harrison’s career and the first for USI Men’s Basketball since the 2022-23 season. Harrison also is the first Screaming Eagle to win both the Player and Newcomer of the Week awards since Trevor Lakes in December 2022.

In the two games at Liberty Arena last week, Harrison averaged a team-best 26.0 points per game, posting a season-high 26 points in the win over Lindenwood University, 80-73, and Western Illinois University, 78-66. He also was second on the team with 8.0 rebounds per game, while posting three assists and recording a steal in 74 minutes of action (37.0 minutes per game).

Harrison started the week with a season-high 26 points and 10 rebounds to lead the Eagles to the win over Lindenwood. The double-double also was the first of the season for Harrison, who was eight-of-16 from the field, three-of-five from beyond the arc, and seven-of-nine from the stripe.

The junior guard finished the week by leading USI to the victory over WIU by matching his season-high 26 points. He was 11-of-19 from the field, including a pair of three-point field goals, and two-of-two from the line.

For the season, Harrison is second on the team with 14.9 points per game and third on the Eagles with 5.2 rebounds per contest. He is shooting 45.8 percent from the field (97-212), 41.8 from beyond the arc (33-79), and 80.8 percent from the charity stripe (42-52). The junior guard also has scored in double-digits 14 times and scored 20-of-more points five times.

Harrison and the Eagles (8-10, 3-5 OVC) are on the road this week, visiting Southern Illinois University Edwardsville Thursday at 7:30 p.m. and Eastern Illinois University Saturday at 3:30 p.m. Both games can be viewed on ESPN+ and heard on ESPN 97.7FM and The Spin 95.7 FM.

Kelley earns first MVC Freshman of the Week honor
Kelley is the second Purple Aces freshman to be recognized
ST. LOUIS – After back-to-back career games freshman point guard Avery Kelley (Evansville, Ind. / Memorial HS) is the Missouri Valley Conference Freshman of the Week.
Setting multiple offensive career highs in two games last week Kelley was selected as the Valley Freshman of the Week by conference office staff on Monday afternoon. She was the leading scorer for the Purple Aces in their game against Missouri State. Kelley was also the second leading scorer for UE in the team’s first conference win of 2025 over Southern Illinois on Sunday.
Evansville had a limited bench in its game against the Lady Bears and Kelley shined with increased minutes. Through 31 minutes on the floor, she had a team-high 18 points along with adding five rebounds. Kelley was also the only Ace to record multiple assists and steals on Friday in the loss. Her performance battling Missouri State was Kelley’s best shooting game with an overall shooting percentage of 76.9% including being a perfect four of four from the free throw line.
Kelley had a similar performance on Sunday, scoring 18 points for the second game in a row. She has now had double-figure scoring outings in her last three games. Kelley made a career-high three triples against the Salukis and had her second game this season making seven free throws on eight attempts. Away from scoring Kelley grabbed three boards, assisted on four baskets, and grabbed one steal.
In two games Kelley scored just over 25% of UE’s points in the team’s return to Meeks Family Fieldhouse. She averaged 28.5 minutes, 18 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, and 1.5 steals per game over the weekend.
Kelley is now Evansville’s second freshman to earn Freshman of the Week honors. Teammate Camryn Runner has been the MVC Freshman of the Week six times in 10 weeks. The Aces have now earned seven of the 11 possible weekly awards for players in their first year of collegiate basketball.
