Sydney Erikstrup had a career week in Grand Canyon's two wins over Abilene Christian and Tarleton State, and now adds an accolade to the season as the WAC Newcomer of the Week.
Â
Erikstrup averaged 18.5 points and 3.0 rebounds while making six three pointers and converting all seven free throws attempted. The Portland, Oregon, native shot 66% from the field and 54% from three.
Â
Erikstrup scored a team-high 16 points on 6-of-9 shooting against the Wildcats. She followed that up with a career-high 21 points Saturday against the Texans, recording four rebounds, four three pointers and two assists while mirroring her Thursday shooting performance with a 6-of-9 mark from the field.
Â
Erikstrup is the first Lope to earn a conference weekly award. She joins Stephen F. Austin's Kurstyn Harden in this week's award winners.
