OVERLAND PARK, Kan. - Over the past week, Shannon O'Donnell of women's basketball had one of the best weeks in program history. She was rewarded by the Association of Division III Independents on Tuesday with the AD3I's Player of the Week award for action between January 1 and January 7.

The freshman opened the week with 34 points, 14 rebounds and six assists on 12-of-23 shooting against St. Mary-Woods on January 4. The guard capped off the week with 26 points and eight rebounds as Illinois Tech took on fellow AD3I member Maranatha Baptist on Saturday.
