Senior forward Makenna Ash of the St. Olaf College women’s basketball team earned Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC) Women’s Basketball Athlete of the Week. It’s the second time she’s won the award. The 2015 Gibraltar graduate set the St. Olaf team’s career rebounding mark earlier this month.

Ash ranks ninth in NCAA Division III in rebounds per game (13.3), a figure that also leads the MIAC by nearly three rebounds per game.
