One day after being named the College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin (CCIW) Women's Basketball Player of the Week and Carroll's 'Pio of the Week', senior forward
Natalie Gricius has added yet another accolade to her resume, earning a spot on the D3hoops.com Team of the Week.
The Oconomowoc, Wis., native delivered two dominant performances that propelled the Pioneers to a pair of non-conference victories. Gricius opened the week with 22 points on 8-of-11 shooting in a 73-52 win over UChicago, adding 5 rebounds, 1 assist, and 2 steals, while knocking down 2-of-5 from three-point range. She followed that effort with a historic outing against Ripon, erupting for a career-high 39 points in an 86-74 victory. In that game, she shot an incredible 15-of-18 from the field, went 2-for-2 from beyond the arc, and converted 7-of-9 at the free-throw line, while also pulling down 10 rebounds for a double-double.
The D3hoops.com Team of the Week recognizes the top performance at each position nationally and is in its 29th season of honoring standout players across Division III.
