FORT COLLINS, Colo. – Averaging 19 points per game and leading Colorado State women's basketball to a 3-0 record on the week highlighted McKenna Hofschild's case for being named Mountain West Player of the Week, announced by the league office Monday.

The three-game stretch in which Hofschild scored 57 points is the second-best three-game total from the junior guard who notched 61 points in a trio of games last season that coincidentally earned her MW Player of the Week honors (1/11/21) too – her first. During three games run, she also averaged four assists and rebounds per game, while nothing season-bests 10 season bests.

In this set, Hofschild played a season-high 37 minutes against Oral Roberts, while doing a little bit of everything with 13 points, six assists and a season-best three steals in the 71-56 CSU win.

Next, the Rams traveled to Denver for their first away game and Hofschild unleashed, dropping a career-high 27 points on 9-of-16 shooting. After entering the contest, 2-of-9 from 3-point territory, she enjoyed a 4-of-7 clip. Additionally, she corralled a season-high six rebounds and distributed three assists in the 67-43 win.

Momentum from distance carried into the final game of the sequence as Hofschild went 5 for 8 from three, which was a part of the team's 16 total treys – fourth-most all-time. The Prior Lake, Minn., native finished with 17 points, three assists and three boards in the 81-55 victory over Lipscomb.

The reigning MW Newcomer of the Year and All-MW Team selection ranks seventh in the conference in scoring, averaging 15 ppg and third on the assists list with 5.0 apg. The 27-point outburst is the third highest point total for a MW student-athlete this season.
