Poppy Miller's pair of double-doubles during the seven-day period ending March 1 have netted the Olivet Nazarene University 6-0 senior forward Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference Division I Women's Basketball Player of the Week accolades for the second time this season.

Despite ONU losing both of its decisions during the week, Miller did all she could for the Tiger cause averaging 22.0 points, 12.0 rebounds and 3.0 steals per game, while also shooting .556 from the field, including a perfect 3-for-3 reading from three-point range.

Miller opened the week with an 18-point, 12-rebound effort in a 79-70 setback to CCAC regular-season champion Saint Xavier University on Feb. 24. She then came up with a monster game against University of St. Francis totaling 26 points, 12 rebounds and four steals in a 92-70 loss on Feb. 28

Olivet's 0-2 week dropped the Tigers to 16-13 on the season and 4-6 in league play to finish fourth in the CCAC standings.
