The Fisk senior led the conference with 60 points and 52 rebounds as the Lady Bulldogs completed the second round of GCAC pod play. "What Maya is doing is extraordinary for our university, women's basketball program, and the GCAC. But, the most amazing fact is that her teammates are as excited or more excited by her accomplishments. We expect her to continue her dominance throughout the season and post-season play." said Head Fisk Women's Basketball Coach Victoria Crawford. 

This week, Buckhahon moved up to second in the NAIA in rebounds per game. In addition, she currently holds the #1 spot in the GCAC in points per game, rebounds per game, and field goal percentage.
