2016 Nov 15

Bob Jones University Bruins women's basketball player Brianna Delaney was selected by the National Christian College Athletic Association (NCCAA) as national student-athlete of the week. Delaney was selected for her play in competition this past week, Nov. 7-12.

"Brianna has been a great part of our program for several seasons," Bruins Athletic Director Dr. Neal Ring said. "She has put in a lot of work on and off the court, and we are excited to see her honored with this recognition."

Delaney helped the Bruins basketball team play to a 2-1 record in competition this past week. She provided a solid post presence for the Bruins as the team defeated Washington Adventist University 58-57 on Tuesday. After the Lady Bruins fell short on Friday, Nov. 11, against Warner University, Delaney provided the boost the team needed on Saturday, Nov. 12, as she had 22 points to go along with 22 rebounds in the 91-76 win over Johnson and Wales University of Florida. The Lady Bruins are now 3-2 on the season.

Delaney is a senior business administration major from Eagan. The Student-Athlete of the Week award is chosen by the NCCAA and recognizes the play of student-athletes in their respective sport. The Bruins compete in the NCCAA DII.
