FARMINGTON, Utah (Jan. 31, 2023) - After an outstanding performance this past week for Northern Arizona's Montana Oltrogge, the forward was selected as the Big Sky's Women's Basketball Player of the Week, the conference office announced on Tuesday.
Player of the Week - Montana Oltrogge (Northern Arizona)
