COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Tatum Thompson was recognized as the Mountain West Player of the Week, the conference announced on Monday.
Â
Thompson becomes the first Bronco to receive the recognition since teammate Elodie Lalotte took home the award on Nov. 21, 2022.
Â
The sophomore from Woodinville, Wash., scored a career-high 21 points to lead Boise State past Fresno State, 60-50, on Wednesday night. With the Broncos trailing by four with 4:23 remaining in the third quarter, Thompson scored 14 of Boise State's next 16 points to give the squad a 50-42 lead with 8:35 remaining.
Â
She finished 6-of-10 from the field, 2-of-2 from beyond the arc and 7-of-11 from the free throw line. Thompson also matched her career-high with seven rebounds.
With the recognition, Thompson becomes the fourth Bronco from the sophomore class to earn a MW weekly award. Dani Bayes, Mya Hansen and Natalie Pasco all received MW Freshman of the Week honors a season ago.
The Broncos are back in action with two-straight home games, beginning Wednesday night with a contest against San Jose State. Tipoff will be at 6:30 p.m. MT on the MW Network and 670 KBOI AM.
