Colorado State forward Melissa Dennett was named Mountain West Conference Women's Basketball Player of the Week, marking her first career award.
A 6-2 sophomore from Salt Lake City, Utah (Highland HS), Dennett scored a career-high 24 points in an 80-63 win at Denver last week, helping snap a three-game losing streak for the Rams. She connected on 11-of-17 from the field, while collecting five rebounds and two steals. Dennett scored 15 points and grabbed seven rebounds in a 71-63 victory at San Francisco.
For the week, Dennett averaged 19.5 points and 6.0 rebounds per game, while shooting 53.1 percent from the floor. Of her 12 rebounds last week, nine were offensive boards which led to 14 second-chance points for the Rams.
Dennett leads Colorado State with 14.3 points per game this season.
Dennett and the rest of the Rams are in action again this Sunday in Moby Arena as they take on St. Mary's at 2:00 p.m.
