Sunnarborg captures her first Player of the Week award this season
and second of her career after leading South Dakota State to a pair
of league wins during the final week of the regular season. In
Saturday's win over IUPUI, the senior forward scored 20 points
while grabbing five rebounds and dishing out three assists. She
followed that performance with a 23-point, five-rebound outing in
24 minutes in the win over WIU while shooting 9-for-10 from the
field. For the week, Sunnarborg averaged 21.5 points, 5.0 rebounds
and 2.5 assists in just 25.0 minutes per contest. She had a 2.5
assist/turnover ratio and shot 83 percent (15-of-18) from the field
and was perfect from downtown (4-of-4) and at the line (9-of-9).
Sunnarborg has reached the 20-point mark nine times this season and
has connected on her last seven three-point
attemps.
