NDSU's Bue, WIU's Hugelier Named Co-Players of the Week
Lisa Bue, North Dakota State
Sr., F,
5-10, Austin, Minn./Austin HS
Bue
collects the Co-Player of the Week honor, her second consecutive
award, after averaging a double-double in North Dakota State's two
games last week. She averaged 19 points and grabbed 12 rebounds as
the Bison went 1-1 in Summit League play, defeating IPFW (87-47)
and falling to Oakland (80-67). In the win over the Mastodons, Bue
became the 27th NDSU player to reach 1,000 points in her career and
currently has 1,021. She recorded her third and fourth
double-doubles of the season, grabbed a career-high 14 rebounds vs.
OU and has scored in double figures in all 14 games.
Gina
Hugelier, Western Illinois
Sr., G,
5-9, Elmhurst, Ill./York HS
Hugelier
earns the Co-Player of the Week award after leading the Westerwinds
to a pair of key league road victories over UMKC (68-54) and
Southern Utah (58-39). WIU also dropped a non-league game at Kansas
State (68-53) last week. She averaged 16.3 ppg and 8.3 rpg in the
three games, including a season-high 23 points against the
Thunderbirds. Hugelier was 15-of-16 from the free throw line and
shot 40 percent from behind the arc. She is now 21-of-22 from the
line in three Summit League games and Western is a perfect 3-0 in
league play, good enough for second place in the
standings.
