AMERICUS, Ga. — Georgia Southwestern State University graduate guard Destiny Garrett was named the Peach Belt Conference Women’s Basketball Player of the Week for the second time this season by the league office.
Garrett posted a double-double in both of the Lady Hurricanes games last week and finished with an average of 26 points, 12 rebounds and eight assists. The Bessemer, Ala. native was an assist shy of a triple-double in the 73-54 win over Savannah State on Saturday. She led all players with 13 rebounds, scored 22 points and dished out nine assists. Garrett forced overtime Thursday night in a 90-79 loss to Valdosta State by sinking a pair of free throws with 1.8 seconds remaining. She finished with 30 points against the Blazers and was a perfect 10-for-10 from the charity stripe.
Garrett leads the PBC and is ranked fourth in NCAA Division II with 7.6 assists per game this season. She also ranks second in the conference in scoring (18.4 ppg), field goal percentage (46.0) and free throw percentage (93.9), while ranking fourth in rebounding (7.2 rpg).
Garrett becomes the second player in GSW women’s basketball history, joining Ava Jones (2021-22 and 2022-23), to earn multiple PBC Player of the Week awards during their career.
