Maddie Moody earns #HLWBB Freshman of the Week nod for second time

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – Northern Kentucky University Norse women's basketball freshman Maddie Moody picked up Horizon League Freshman of the Week honors on Monday, marking the second time this season that she's earned the award. 

Moody guided the Norse to three straight wins this past week, while posting averages of 13.3 points, 9.7 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.3 steals, and 1.3 blocks per game, shooting 51.7% from the floor and 50% from three on the week. 

The Norse entered the week 0-3 in Horizon League play, but turned it around last Monday with an overtime win over Purdue Fort Wayne, giving the Mastodons their only loss in Horizon League play this year. Moody had six points, seven rebounds, two blocks, and two assists in the win. 

NKU then came home for a pair of games to open 2026 and dominated both games for blowout victories. Moody went for 15 points and 15 rebounds in Friday's win over IU Indy, which marked a new career high in rebounds. She then set a new career high in scoring in Sunday's win, dropping 19 points with seven rebounds and three steals. 

Moody and the Norse take their three-game win streak on the road next week, set to take on Youngstown State on January 8 and Robert Morris on January 10.
