HOUGHTON — Michigan Tech senior guard Lindsay Winter has been selected as the GLIAC North Division Player of the Week for her performances against Davis & Elkins and Ursuline in the opening weekend of the 2017-18 season.

Her previous career-high in rebounding was 10 boards at Ashland in the GLIAC semifinals last year. Winter also led the team with a career-high eight assists against the Arrows, which topped the previous mark of six.

In the two games combined, Winter averaged 18 points, 11.5 rebounds, and 5.5 assists during the weekend. She found the target on 15 of 21 shots from the field (71 percent) and was 6 for 12 from 3-point range (50 percent).
