MIAA Release

Fort Hays State’s senior point guard Beth Bohuslavsky and Emporia State guard Kelly Moten share the MIAA women’s basketball athlete of the week award.

Bohuslavsky was the key to No. 5 Fort Hays States 71-70 win over No. 1 Emporia State on Saturday. Not only did she have a team-high 21 points and six rebounds in the game, she also hit the game-deciding shot and forced a turnover on Emporia States last possession of the game with two seconds left.

She went 2-of-2 beyond the 3-point line in the game, hitting the second at 1:34 remaining in the game to put FHSU up 71-64. ESU had the last chance offensively in the game down by just one, but Bohuslavsky dashed to the block after an entry pass and tied up Kathryn Flott for a jump ball before she could get a shot away at the buzzer. FHSU got the ball back and ran out the clock.

Bohuslavsky had eight of her 21 points in the fourth quarter. Earlier on Wednesday, she had 17 points and three assists in a 62-54 win over Washburn. She averaged 19 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.5 steals, and 2.5 assists per game for the week. FHSU has now won three of the last five meetings with ESU. Both teams have been in the top 10 of the WBCA rankings for all five of those games. This was also the first time Fort Hays State defeated the No. 1 ranked team in the nation.

The 5-6 senior guard is a native of Dwight, Neb. where she competed at Seward High School.

Moten averaged 21.5 points, 7.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.5 blocks for the #1 Lady Hornets last week. She had a career high 31 points with seven rebounds, six assists, two blocks and a steal in Emporia State’s 73-64 win at Nebraska-Kearney. She had 12 points, seven rebounds, four assists, two steals and a block in the Lady Hornets 71-70 loss at No. 5 Fort Hays State.

The 5-9 redshirt junior guard is a native of Gary, Ind. where she competed at Roosevelt High School.
