Sacramento State’s Kennedy Nicholas Takes Home #BigSkyWBB Weekly Honors
FARMINGTON, Utah (December 3, 2019) – Sacramento State’s Kennedy Nicholas has been named the #BigSkyWBB Ready Nutrition Player of the Week.
In the only game that the Hornets played last week, Nicholas matched her career-high with 30 points in a 77-75 double-overtime loss at their rivals UC Davis.
Nicholas led the Hornets with 30 points while collecting her first double-double of the season with a team-high 11 rebounds. The senior forward was 10-for-15 from the floor and added 10 points from the free-throw line, going 10-of-17. Five of her 11 boards came on the offensive glass. Nicholas also had an assist and a steal in the game against the Aggies.
After missing the first two games of the season, Nicholas is averaging 18.3 points and 7.3 rebounds in 26.0 minutes per game through three games.
Nicholas’ 30-point performance is the second time this season that an individual has scored 30-points in the Big Sky Conference. Her single-game total is tied for the most in the league this year, tying Idaho’s Gina Marxen who was last week’s player of the week.
