IRVING, Texas – Senior guard Bridget Carleton nabbed her first Big 12 Player of the Week honor of the season, the league announced Monday. Today’s honor marks the 11th Big 12 weekly honor for the Chatham, Ontario, Canada native, which ranks first in school history and tied for seventh in Big 12 history.

Carleton had a banner week, leading Iowa State to the program’s first Preseason WNIT Championship with a win over No. 24 Miami. Carleton scored 15 points, grabbed seven rebounds and added three assists, three blocks and three steals. On Tuesday, Carleton’s late-game heroics gave Iowa State the semifinal win over Auburn, 67-64. With just nine seconds remaining Carleton, put ISU up 66-64. On the other end, she denied Auburn’s game-tying shot with a monster block to give ISU the win.

On the week she averaged 15.0 points, 10.0 rebounds and 5.5 assists. For her efforts, she earned the Preseason WNIT Tournament MVP award.

Iowa State is back in action on Wednesday, Nov. 21 when it takes on Eastern Michigan in Chatham, Ontario, Canada – Carleton’s hometown. The game will begin at 5 p.m.
