For the third time this season, the Ashland University women’s basketball team can boast the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference South Division player of the week.

This week’s award winner is senior guard Isolina Brescia (Lima, Peru/Sir Issac Newton). Bresica led Ashland to a 95-78 win over Hillsdale on Thursday (Feb. 5). Brescia had game highs of 34 points, eight assists and six steals to go with eight rebounds. She shot 80 percent (12-of-15) from the field including 2-of-3 from three-point range. She was 8-of-8 at the free throw line.

The 34 points was just five points shy of the school single-game record. Brescia is first in the GLIAC in free throw percentage (.889), third in steals (2.41/53), fifth in assists (3.82 apg.), seventh in three-point field goal percentage (.393) and ninth in assist-turnover ratio (0.92). Brescia leads the Eagles in scoring (14.2 ppg.). That puts her 13th in the league in that category.

In addition to Brescia, the Eagles have had two other GLIAC South Division players of the week. Junior center Jackie Mason (Olmsted Falls, OH) garnered the award on Dec. 1, and freshman guard Amber Rall (Bucyrus, OH/Wynford) received the honor on Jan. 26.
