SIOUX FALLS – Augustana sophomore Whitney Hofer (Hartford, SD) has been named the North Central Conference women’s basketball co-player of the week, the NCC office announced Monday.
The 6-foot-1 forward played a key role in helping the 13th-ranked Vikings upset No. 2 North Dakota, 75-68, last Thursday in Grand Forks. It was Augie’s first win in Grand Forks since February 14, 1989, a string of 21 games.
Hofer, who is the third Augie player to earn conference player of the week honors this season, scored a career-high 20 points, grabbed 10 rebounds, and dished out four assists. She was 8-for-9 from the field (88.9 percent) and dropped both 3-point attempts.
Thursday night the Vikings host Minnesota State University Mankato at 6:00 p.m. in the Sioux Falls Arena, and visit St. Cloud State Saturday for a 2:00 p.m. contest.
