SEATTLE (Dec. 8) – Valerie Gustafson of Seattle Pacific University earned her second Great Northwest Athletic Conference women’s basketball player of the week award in three weeks for her prominent role in another couple of victories for the Falcons.

Last week Gustafson (Sr., 6-0, Olympia, Wa./ Black Hills) scored 54 points, including a career-high 29 points in a 17-point win over previously unbeaten Chico State. She had 25 points in a 71-61 win over Central Washington. In the two games she connected on 21-37 shots and also had 15 rebounds and four steals. Gustafson leads the GNAC in scoring (20.7) and steals (2.8).

Seattle Pacific (6-0), ranked No. 13 in the latest NCAA Division II poll, resumes play Friday night in Portland with a non-conference game at Warner Pacific.
