Women’s Basketball
Eastern Oregon’s Mariah Swanson has been named the Red Lion Women’s Basketball Player of the Week.
Swanson, a senior forward from Seattle, Wash., led the Mountaineers to a perfect 20-0 record in the conference and the team’s 21st-straight win defeating two tough opponents. Swanson had a career high of 22 points on Friday, shooting 66 percent from the field. The senior followed up with a 21-point game on Saturday against No. 10 SOU. With the Raiders nearly putting together a comeback, Swanson drew a charge late in the fourth to force the CCC’s top scorer, Remi Mejia, to foul out. She then followed up with a huge three pointer that shifted momentum back to the Mounties.
Honorable mention: Maci Bozett, CRB
