PSU's Bolston Named Ready Nutrition #BigSkyWBB Player of the Week
OGDEN, Utah – Ashley Bolston led Portland State to two wins to remain unbeaten and earn Ready Nutrition #BigSkyWBB Player of the Week.
Bolston scored a game-high 19 points in a matchup at Grand Canyon where points were hard to come by. The junior hit all seven of her free throw attempts and recorded four helpers along with four steals in 36 minutes in Portland State's 60-55 win.
Back at home against UNLV, Bolston led the team in scoring again totaling 17 points on 7-11 shooting from the field. Portland State faced its first fourth quarter deficit of the season and responded by outscoring the Runnin Rebels 21-11 in the final stanza. Bolston collected six rebounds and four steals in the win.
This is the fourth career Player of the Week accolade for Bolston and the second this season. The Vikings will look to close out the non-conference potion of the season undefeated as they face UC Irvine at home on Tuesday.
Other nominees: Jace Henderson, Montana; Oliana Squires, Montana State; Alexis Chapman, Northern Colorado; Jaiamoni Welch-Coleman, Weber State
