UAA senior center Rebecca Kielpinski, fresh off her third straight Most Outstanding Player award in the Carrs/Safeway Great Alaska Shootout, on Sunday was named the Great Northwest Athletic Conference's Player of the Week for women's basketball.
Kielpinski led the Seawolves (7-1) to their third straight Shootout championship -- all those have come under the guidance of coach Tim Moser, who is 6-0 in Shootout games.
Kielpinski, a 6-foot-2 pivot, furnished 24 points 15 rebounds, six assists and six blocks in tournament victories last week over Cal State Northridge and Syracuse.
The two-time GNAC Player of the Year, who was a second-team All-American last season, leads the Seawolves in scoring (11.4 points per game), rebounds (9.0 per game), field goal percentage (.483) and blocks (2.88). She is also second among Seawolves in assists (2.88).
Kielpinski has been named GNAC Player of the Week eight times in her career. The Seawolves are idle until they entertain Mansfield on Dec. 14-15 at the Wells Fargo Sports Complex.
