Augustana’s Shaunteva Ashley was once again named Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference South Division Player of the Week by the league in a release on Monday.
Ashley has now won the award six times this year, the most of any player in the conference. The Sioux Falls, S.D. native powered a potent Vikings offense en route to two road wins this past weekend at Mary and Minot State.
In quite possibly the best single-game performance of her four-year career, Ashley recorded her second double-double of the season in a comeback victory against the Marauders on Friday night. She finished with a game-high 30 points, a career-best 14 rebounds, five assists, and five steals in 43 minutes of action. The senior kept her stellar play going on Saturday with an 18-point, five-rebound, six-assist effort in an 82-65 victory against the Beavers at the MSU Dome. For the weekend, Ashley finished with averages of 24.0 points, 9.5 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 3.5 steals in 36.5 minutes. Augustana returns home for two games this weekend. First up, a meeting with No. 17 Northern State on Friday at 6 p.m. The Vikings finish the weekend with a game against MSU Moorhead on Saturday. Start time is scheduled for 4 p.m.
