February 10th, 2014 by Jim Field

ATLANTA – Iowa State women’s basketball senior Hallie Christofferson has been added to the Wade Trophy list, the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA), on behalf of the Wade Trophy Coalition, announced today.

Christofferson is one of 35 collegiate women’s basketball players named to the prestigious Wade Trophy list. Christofferson was also one of 10 additions to the midseason list. This season, the senior is averaging 18.7 points per contest, which ranks second in the Big 12, and 7.4 rebounds.

Christofferson recently became just the eighth player in Cyclone history to reach 1,500 career points and sits eighth in Iowa State history with 1,568 points. Christofferson is a two-time Academic All- Big 12 honoree and was also named an ISU Scholar Athlete last season.

The Wade Trophy Coalition presents The Wade Trophy to the nation’s most outstanding NCAA Division I women’s basketball player each year – one who not only excels athletically but also serves as a positive role model both on and off the court.

ISU’s Ejim Earns Big 12 Player of Week Honor

Sports

February 10th, 2014 by Jim Field

AMES, Iowa – Iowa State senior forward Melvin Ejim’s 48-point, 18-rebound performance against TCU was one of the top performances in the history of the Big 12 Conference and on Monday he was recognized as the Phillips 66 Big 12 Player of the Week. It is his second honor of the season.

 

 

Ejim’s 48 points were a Big 12 record and his 18 rebounds a career high. He also broke the Big 12 record for field goals, making 20-of-24 attempts. The 48 points was also an ISU record for a regulation game and the second-most points ever scored in a game (LaFester Rhodes, 54 vs. Iowa).

 

 

Ejim, who is leading the Big 12 in scoring with 19.8 points per game, scored 22 points and grabbed 13 rebounds earlier in the week in ISU’s thrilling triple-OT win at Oklahoma State. That win snapped an 18-game losing streak in Stillwater that dated back to 1988.

 

 

Kansas State’s Marcus Foster was named the Big 12 Newcomer of the Week.

 

 

Ejim and the Cyclones are back in action tonight at West Virginia at 6 p.m. (CT).
