Eide collects her first career Player of the Week award after

rebounds, dished out two assists and had two steals in 30 minutes
of action in the nine-point loss. She was a perfect 3-for-3 from
three-point range and shot 64 percent (9-of-14) from the field.
Eide more than doubled her points per game heading into the contest
as she was averaging 9.7 on the year and was shooting 26 percent
from downtown before connecting on all three of her
attempts.
