Maupin led Texas Tech to road victories over West Virginia and Cincinnati while earning TTU’s first Conference Player of the Week nod since 2023. The 71-66 win over the Mountaineers was the Lady Raiders’ first in Morgantown since Jan. 14, 2015, while the 71-60 win over the Bearcats was the first over UC in program history. The two victories marked the first time Texas Tech has posted back-to-back road wins in league play since the 2004-05 season.

Maupin’s efforts helped Texas Tech remain as one of three unbeaten teams in the country (UConn, Vanderbilt) and the only one at 18-0. This is her first career Big 12 Player of the Week award and her third career weekly league honor.

Davis extended her streak of 20+ point games to four while averaging 20.5 points per game and 4.0 rebounds per game for the week, becoming the first player to win Big 12 Freshman of the Week in back-to-back weeks this season.
