SIOUX FALLS, S.D. – North Dakota State guard Boden Skunberg claimed the latest TicketSmarter #SummitMBB Peak Performer of the Week award Monday, League officials announced. Skunberg averaged 20.3 ppg and 7.0 rpg during a 2-1 week for the Bison.
Skunberg opened the week by posting his first career double-double in a 67-62 victory over Portland that snapped a four-game skid for NDSU. The junior finished with career-highs in points (20) and rebounds (10) in the victory over the West Coast Conference foe.
He also went 9-for-10 from the charity stripe against the Pilots and came up with a key offensive rebound in the closing seconds and he made a pair of free throws that gave NDSU a two-possession lead.
For the second straight game, Skunberg established a new career-high in scoring after netting 22 in a 72-65 home loss to Montana. The Jamestown, N.D., native went 12-for-12 from the foul line and added seven rebounds in a game the Bison were in throughout.
He closed the week by leading the Bison with 19 points in a 99-54 rout of Waldorf. Skunberg's 61 total points were the most in any three-game stretch of his career and he has now scored in double figures in a career-best five straight games.
