INDIANAPOLIS - Purdue Fort Wayne's Alana Nelson was selected as the Horizon League's Player of the Week for the second week in a row, the league announced on Monday (Dec. 15).
Nelson led Purdue Fort Wayne to a pair of wins over league foe Milwaukee and future league foe Northern Illinois. She scored 20 points against Milwaukee, the most in a league game this week. The graduate student followed it up with a double-double of 15 points and 13 rebounds. She averaged 17.5 points and 9.0 rebounds per game for Purdue Fort Wayne, the only Horizon League team to go 2-0 this week.
Nelson leads the Horizon League in scoring with 23.0 points per game in league play, 16.6 overall.
Behind Nelson's lead, the Mastodons are riding a four-game winning streak with a 3-0 start to league play. The 'Dons are up to No. 123 in the most recent NET rankings, the second-best in the Horizon League behind just No. 91 Green Bay.
The Mastodons will welcome Aquinas to the Gates Sports Center for their final non-league tuneup before Horizon League play resumes on December 29 with a visit from Northern Kentucky.
