UMAC Player of the Week Awards (Jan. 16, 2017)

The University of Wisconsin Superior claimed its third-straight victory over the weekend, and Monday, the Upper Midwest Athletic Conference honored sophomore forward Hannah Norlin (Litchfield, Minn./Litchfield H.S.) as the UMAC Women's Basketball Player of the Week.

Norlin finished as one of the top scorers for the Yellowjackets in each of UW-Superior's (12-4, 8-0 UMAC) victories as the team moved to 28-0 in conference play during its first two seasons in the UMAC. In Friday night's UMAC Game of the Week against the University of Minnesota Morris, Norlin scored 20 points and grabbed five rebounds as the Yellowjackets picked up an 81-72 victory over the previously unbeaten-in-league-play Cougars. Saturday, UWS picked up a defensively dominating 71-40 victory over Crown College, but Norlin still had 13 points to go with seven rebounds, three blocks, two steals, and one assist against the Storm. Norlin has averaged 14.5 points and 8.1 reounds per game in conference play this season.
