Hunter was named the ACCAC DII Player of the week on Tuesday.
Sophomore guard Mackenzie Shivers also had a great game against Cochise as she put up 17 points (7-13 from the field), five rebounds, and five assists. It was not just the starters that contributed for Mesa as Miquedah Taliman came off the bench and provided a spark for MCC with 13 points (3-7 from three-point range) and three steals.
