Lewis-Clark State College’s Kiara Burlage was named the Embrace Health-Santiam Hospital Women’s Basketball Player of the Week.
Burlage, a six-foot senior forward, had a record-setting performance on Saturday, setting the LC State single-game record for made free throws with 18. In the process, the Columbia Falls, Mont., native drained a program-record 13 consecutive foul shots without a miss. Her 19 attempts are tied for fourth in a single game. She totaled 34 points in the contest which is a career high and sits just outside the top 10 in points in a game for LC State. On Friday, Burlage totaled 14 points and led the team with nine rebounds.
