After scoring a career-high 33 points to lift Colorado State past Seattle on Sunday, senior guard Ellen Nystrom has been named Mountain West Women’s Basketball Player of the Week, as announced by the conference on Monday.
Nystrom tallied her 33 points on 13-of-24 shooting, accounting for half of the team’s 66 points and more than half of CSU’s 24 field goals made on Sunday. Nystrom’s 13 field goals made on Sunday are the sixth-most in a single game by an individual in program history.
The Lulea, Sweden native corralled 13 rebounds to account for her second double-double of the season. Nystrom added five assists, a block and a pair of steals to her Sunday stat line en route to CSU’s 66-62 win over Seattle, the Rams’ program-record 22nd straight win at home.
This marks the second weekly honor from the conference this season for Nystrom and the third overall for her career. Nystrom, the 2016-17 Preseason MW Player of the Year, is the only player in the conference to win weekly honors multiple times this season.
The Colorado State women’s basketball team returns to action on Wednesday for a road contest at Montana. Opening tip is set for 7 p.m. MT.
