Evans scored in double figures in nine of the 10 games and scored at least 20 points five times, including the final two games to earn RMAC Offensive Player of the Week on Jan. 31.
He poured in 22 points on 9-of-16 shooting in a pivotal game against Colorado Mines on Jan. 7, locking up first place in the conference for the team. His 27 points on Jan. 14 against CSU-Pueblo were a season high and he missed his first career double-double by one rebounds. Evans had another solid game on the road at Fort Lewis, scoring 24 points on 9-of-16 shooting, including a season-high four 3-pointers. He wrapped up the month with 21 points against Western State and 20 against Mesa State en route to player of the week honors. He ranks second in the conference in scoring with 17.9 points per game.

Schreibvogel, who has five double-doubles this season, notched a double-double at Colorado Christian on Jan. 14 (21 points, 10 rebounds). She leads the league in field goal percentage (.587, 131 of 223) and is second in scoring (17.5 points per game), just 0.1 off the league leader.
