GVSU senior forward Rylie Bisballe has been recognized as the GLIAC Offensive Player of the Week for the third time this season. The announcement was made by the league office earlier today.
In two recent victories for the Lakers, Bisballe contributed significantly by scoring 37 points, with a shooting accuracy of 14-24 from the floor. She also collected 14 rebounds and provided five assists. During Thursday's win over Michigan Tech, despite limited playtime of just 13 minutes, she managed to score 15 points on a 6-9 shooting record, along with three rebounds and an assist. In another game over the weekend, Bisballe achieved a season-high performance with 22 points from eight out of fifteen shots and secured her first double-double of the season by grabbing 11 rebounds. Her efforts included four assists that aided GVSU in defeating Northern Michigan and maintaining an undefeated status in GLIAC play.
Bisballe's performance this weekend advanced her into the top-10 scorers in program history, currently holding ninth place with a total of 1,329 points. Throughout this season, she has consistently scored in double figures in 13 out of 15 games and is averaging 13.6 points per game. The Lakers boast a record of 14-1 overall and remain unbeaten at 4-0 within league play. They are scheduled to face Ferris State on Thursday and Lake Superior State on Saturday during their upcoming road games.
