Better a few days late than never announcing. Peru State athletic director Wayne Albury recently announced the January Peru State athletes of the month as Giovanna Silva (Brazilia, Brazil) and Kendrick Robinson (Chicago).
Both Silva and Robinson have been leaders on their respective basketball teams.
A 5-10 forward, Silva finished the month with four double-doubles and ended up averaging a double-double for the month. She scored 10.2 points per game and grabbed 11.2 rebounds per contest.
Silva is currently ranked in four NAIA individual categories: 19th in offensive rebounds per game (3.545), 22nd in total rebounds (203), 23rd in rebounds per game (9.227), and 33rd in defensive rebounds per game (5.682).
A senior, Silva had a season-high 23 points against Baker (Kan.) and grabbed a season-high 17 rebounds against Culver-Stockton (Mo.).
Athletic director Albury noted, “Giovanna and Kendrick have proven to be leaders on their respective teams so far during the basketball season, and in particular, in January.”
