COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Mya Hansen was named the Mountain West Freshman of the Week, the conference announced Monday.
Hansen had a career night against BYU on Thursday, exploding for 31 points on 8-of-15 shooting from the floor. The freshman from Billings, Mont. added four 3-pointers and shot a perfect 11-of-11 from the line. She became the first Bronco to notch over 30 points in a game since Jade Loville scored 40 points against UNLV on Feb. 10, 2021.
The freshman also led the team in scoring the following game against Colorado, finishing with 11 points. Hansen shot 4-of-8 from the field, including 3-of-4 from long range. Between the two games, Hansen shot 52.2 percent (12-of-23) from the field and 63.6 percent (7-of-11) from beyond the arc.
Hansen is the second Bronco to be named the MW Freshman of the Week this season, and the third to earn conference recognition. Natalie Pasco was named the MW Freshman of the Week on Nov. 21, the same week Elodie Lalotte was named the MW Player of the Week.
The Broncos (3-6) will hit the hardwood again on Saturday, Dec. 10 with a home game against Saint Mary's. The game will tip off at 2 p.m. MT in ExtraMile Arena.
