Ronsiek and Carlson continue to rack up conference accolades.
FORT COLLINS – Colorado State delivered a clean sweep of the weekly Mountain West awards as Emma Ronsiek was tabbed the league's player of the week while Brooke Carlson collected freshman of the week honors.
Â
The Ram duo was rewarded for its efforts in helping CSU earn wins over San Diego State and San Jose State this past week, improving to 3-0 in Mountain West play. Ronsiek collected her third MW Player of the Week award for the 2024-25 campaign and fourth overall for the Rams, who remain the only team in the league to collect the honor more than once this season. Carlson was named the league's top freshman for the second time this season, joining San Diego State's Nat Martinez and Naomi Panganiban as multi-time winners.
Â
It was another week of efficient performances for Ronsiek, who averaged 22.0 points, 6.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists on 58.6% shooting from the floor, 53.3% shooting from 3-point range and 100% shooting from the free-throw line.
Â
In the Rams' win over San Diego State on Wednesday, the Sioux Falls, S.D., native scored a game-high 24 points while corralling seven rebounds. After sitting for the majority of the second quarter with foul trouble, Ronsiek exploded for 22 second-half points second half including 15 in the fourth quarter to help sink the Aztecs. Against the Spartans, Ronsiek poured in a game-high 20 points on 57.1% shooting to go with six rebounds and two steals. The Ram forward has logged at least 20 points and six rebounds in each conference game this season and leads the league in scoring across all games (18.2 points per game).
Â
Carlson earned a pair of starts this past week and answered the call well, posting 10.0 points and 6.5 assists with an assist/turnover ratio of 4.3 across the two Ram victories. The Batavia, Ill., native logged seven points and five assists against the Aztecs and came alive for 13 points and a career-high eight assists in the dominant win over the Spartans. Through three games of the MW season, Carlson is leading the league in total assists (17) and assists per game (5.67) while ranking second in assist/turnover ratio (4.25).
Â
A tough test lies ahead for the Rams as they travel to face three-time defending MW Champion UNLV in Las Vegas on Wednesday. Tipoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. MT, with streaming available on the Mountain West Network.
