Editors note: Charlie Creme, Graham Hays and Mechelle Voepel each vote to determine espnWs national player of the week, which is awarded every week of the womens college basketball season.To be blunt, 2016 hasnt been a great year for Dukes womens basketball program. The Blue Devils finished 20-12 last season and missed the NCAA tournament for the first time since 1994. Duke also fell out of the Associated Press Top 25 for the first time since 1999.After the season, sophomore standout Azura Stevens transferred to UConn, and freshman Angela Salvadores left Duke as well. The Duke administration conducted what was referred to as an evaluation of coach Joanne P. McCallie and the program during the spring.In early May, it was announced that McCallie would remain in her position -- her contract runs through the 2018-19 season -- but there was still uncertainty about how the Blue Devils would respond to everything that had happened.However, junior guard Rebecca Greenwell said she felt from the start of this season that Duke had a chance to be a very good team. Sunday in Durham, North Carolina, the Blue Devils pulled one of the more notable upsets thus far, and Greenwell led the way.Duke beat No. 3 South Carolina 74-63, and Greenwell earned espnW player of the week honors after a 29-point performance. She made 9 of 15 shots from the field -- going 4-of-7 from 3-point range -- and was 7-of-8 from the line against the previously unbeaten Gamecocks.I dont think Ive ever wanted to win a game as much as I did tonight, Greenwell said. But Im just really proud of how we had a full team effort. Everyone did special things. The defensive side of the game for us was just incredible.Two years ago, when Greenwell was a freshman, Duke nearly beat South Carolina at Cameron Indoor Stadium. But a buzzer-beater from then-freshman Aja Wilson gave the Gamecocks a 51-50 victory. Then last season in Columbia, South Carolina, the Gamecocks beat Duke 66-55.The Blue Devils have had their struggles against ranked teams; prior to Sunday, they had lost eight in a row against Top 25 teams dating back to last season.But Duke is now 9-1 -- the loss was at Vanderbilt on Nov. 20 -- and Sundays victory was by far the Blue Devils most impressive this season.On Thursday, Greenwell had 11 points, six rebounds and five assists in a 68-32 dismantling of Rutgers. She is averaging 21.6 points and 6.3 rebounds this season and is shooting 44 percent (36-of-82) from behind the arc.Also considered: Keyona Hayes, Miami; Alexis Jones, Baylor; Maria Martianez, Oral Roberts; Jessica Thomas, MiamiPrevious winners: Notre Dames Ogunbowale (Nov. 21) | Virginia Techs Hicks (Nov. 28) San Antonio Spurs Jerseys .

Western Bulldogs midfielder Tom Liberatore is undergoing a series of hospital tests after his heavy knock during the AFL win over Richmond.Liberatore was taken to hospital by ambulance during Saturday nights game at Etihad Stadium.Tigers player Jayden Short collided with him heavily in a marking contest during the second term.Short collected him in the ribs from behind and Liberatore left the field immediately.Post-match, Bulldogs coach Luke Beveridge was unsure about the extent of Liberatores injuries.They are worried about internal damage and Beveridge said an initial test had returned good news.(The scan) came back positive, that internally hes okay at this point, but they have to do a number of other ones to make sure hes okay, Beveridge said.Liberatore missed all of last season with a knee reconstruction.His latest injury was typical of a tough night for the Bulldogs, who had to withstand a determined challenge from the Tigers before winning by 10 points.While the result ensures the Bulldogs return to the top four, thanks to GWS and Geelong losing, Beveridge said it was frustrating night.I dont think it gets much uglier ... it was a tough one to sit through, Beveridge said.The coach dragged star forward Jake Stringer in the third term and the old-school tactic worked.Stringer redeemed his night by returning to the game and kicking four goals in a match-winning perfformance.dddddddddddd.I dont do that very often, its a bit of olden-day stuff, really, Beveridge said.I sat on the bench a lot when I played, more because the coach was frightened to put me on than getting dragged.But he did, he responded quite emphatically.Marcus Bontempelli also had a massive last term, where the lead changed five times, while Dale Morris and Easton Wood were outstanding in defence.Beveridge said Jack Redpaths brain fade in the last term, when he played on and botched a straight-forward shot on goal, was one of a string of incidents from the Bulldogs that left the coach scratching his head.When it starts to compound, you think are we going to come out of this?, Beveridge said of their many mistakes.We were playing at a speed that was maybe a little bit too ballistic and we werent able to marry our decision-making and our skills with the speed we were playing.Hopefully theres a real positive to come out of (the win) - well learn from that and find a way to put the governor on and just temper the speed were playing a little bit more.We have to be a bit careful with that - it could have really cost us the game.Beveridge remains unsure when key forward Tom Boyd, who is serving a club suspension, will return to the senior team.
