Jr., F, 6-0, Willow Lake, S.D./Willow Lake HS
Warkenthien grabs Co-Player of the Week honors after leading SDSU to an 81-61 victory over rival NDSU last week. She scored 23 points and grabbed 10 rebounds for her first double-double of the season and also dished out a season-high four assists while committing zero turnovers. Warkenthien shot 56 percent (9-of-16) from the field and was perfect from downtown (2-of-2) and at the line (3-of-3) en route to helping the Jackrabbits clinch at least a share of the regular-season league title.
