FORT COLLINS, Colo. – Colorado State's warrior from this past weekend, Karly Murphy, was named Mountain West Player of the Week, the league office announced Monday afternoon.

Every time you looked Murphy was chasing down a rebound, diving on the floor for a loose ball or battling down in the box. She led the Rams to two wins in the Arizona State Classic that were decided by a total of 11 points and in the final quarter.

The River Falls, Wis., native notched her third double-double of the season in game one against Harvard, tallying 12 points and 13 rebounds with the latter tying her season-high. She had four points in the final quarter to help secure the 59-52 win over the Crimson.

In the finale at Desert Financial Arena on Arizona State's campus, the Rams outlasted a pesky UTSA squad for a 52-48 win to improve to 7-1 on the season. Murphy, a graduate forward, barely missed another double-double, accumulating a team-high 16 points with nine rebounds. She had five points in the final two minutes to stave off the Roadrunners. The first layup put the Rams down by one with 1:58 to play, while the second bucket pushed CSU's lead to three with 20 seconds left. She added a crucial free throw with eight seconds on the clock to make it a two-possession game.

In both games, she shot an efficient 50% from the field and was 4-of-6 from the free throw line to make her 18-of-20 on the season.

The award is the first for Murphy in a Ram uniform and second for CSU this season as McKenna Hofschild obtained the honor on Nov. 22^nd.
