DeMartin averaged 25 points, 4.5 assists and four rebounds as Ferris split two league games. She totaled 24 points, five rebounds, three assists and two blocks in the Bulldogs 86-74 come from behind win over Saginaw Valley State last Thursday (Feb. 12) in Big Rapids. DeMartin then added a game-high 26 points, six assists and three rebounds in a 98-93 loss Saturday (Feb. 14) at Lake Superior State.
The 5-9 DeMartin currently has 1,557 career points and needs 16 more to match Monta Ware's (1979-83) school-record output of 1,573 career points. DeMartin, who notched her 550th career made field goal at LSSU, presently has an active 54-game double-figure scoring streak.
A 2002-03 Daktronics NCAA Division II All-Great Lakes Region First-Team selection, DeMartin was named to the 2003-04 Women’s Division II Bulletin Preseason Super 16 All-America Team and chosen as the publication’s preseason GLIAC Player of the Year. Her team-leading 20.2 points per game scoring average last season ranked first among the school’s all-time leaders and placed second in the GLIAC’s overall statistical rankings.
DeMartin's selection marks the second consecutive week and third time overall this campaign FSU has had a player earn the league's weekly honor. Sophomore guard Erin Miller (Niles) attained GLIAC North Division Player of the Week kudos for the second time last week (Feb. 9) after previously earning the award earlier this season (Jan. 5).
Last season (2002-03), DeMartin earned the GLIAC North Division Player of the Week Award on three occasions - Dec. 2, 16 & Feb. 25.
The Bulldogs, who are presently 16-7 overall and hold a second-place 11-3 mark in the GLIAC's North Division, will visit rival Grand Valley State this Monday (Feb. 16) for a 6 p.m. (EST) GLIAC tilt in GVSU's Fieldhouse Arena at Allendale, Mich. Ferris will then face Northwood Saturday (Feb. 21) in a 5:30 p.m. (EST) league encounter at NU's Bennett Sports Center in Midland, Mich.
