Southeast Missouri State's Robinson earns OVC Newcomer of the Week in women's basketball

Southeast Missouri State senior guard Jasmine Robinson was selected Ohio Valley Conference's Newcomer of the Week on Tuesday following a career performance last week.

Robinson's career-high 27 points against Murray State on Saturday helped the Redhawks claim an 88-66 victory, which also marked the most points Southeast had scored since putting up 91 in a win over Central Arkansas in 2007.

She shot 10 of 12 from the field and also grabbed five rebounds along with a pair of assists, a block and a steal.

In a loss to OVC leader UT Martin last Wednesday, Robinson tallied 10 points, five rebounds, three assists and three steals.

The Redhawks (10-16, 3-10 OVC) return to action against Eastern Illinois (8-17, 5-7 OVC) at 1 p.m. Saturday in Charleston, Illinois.

Baseball changes

The Southeast baseball team's home series against Illinois State this weekend has been moved to Lake Charles, Louisiana, due to weather.

The Redhawks (2-1) and the Redbirds (1-2) will now play a three-game series at Cowboy Diamond on the campus of McNeese State University.

Game 1 is slated for 2 p.m. Friday and the series will conclude with a pair of games Saturday at 11 a.m. and 7 p.m.
