Simon Fraser University guard Kristina Collins has been named the Great Northwest Athletic Conference player of the week.

Collins was deadly from beyond the arc, going 10-for-15 to lead the Clan to a pair of victories over eighth-ranked Alaska Anchorage and Alaska Fairbanks last week.

Collins went five-for-seven on three-pointers and scored 18 points against Alaska Anchorage, handing them their first Division II loss of the season.

She then had 15 points and a game-high six assists, making five-of-eight three-pointers in the Clan's 25-point win over Alaska Fairbanks.

In addition to her point total, Collins had a total of 11 assists, two blocks and three steals in the two victories as SFU improved to 5-0 at home.

This week, Collins and the Clan will travel to Nampa, Idaho to take on the Northwest Nazarene Crusaders on Thursday night before a tilt in Ellensburg, Washington against the Central Washington Wildcats on Saturday.
