SIOUX FALLS – Augustana senior point guard Ali Adamson (Willmar, MN) has been named the North Central Conference Women’s Basketball Player of the Week, the conference office announced today. It is the second time this season she has been chosen for the award.
Adamson had an outstanding game in her final regular season appearance before the home fans. She posted a season-high 26 points on 10-for-18 shooting (55.6 percent) as the 13th-ranked Vikings defeated No. 20 South Dakota, 75-63. She also claimed eight rebounds to match her season high, and handed out three assists.
This is the fourth time during the season an Augustana player has been honored by the NCC. Amy Puthoff (Hartford, SD) and Whitney Hofer (Hartford, SD) have also received the award.
Adamson leads the Vikings (25-5) into the NCC playoffs Wednesday. Augustana, the No. 2 seed, entertains Nebraska-Omaha, the No. 7 seed, at 7:00 p.m. in the Elmen Center. The semifinals and finals will be played Saturday and Sunday in Grand Forks, N.D.
