Following a career weekend of basketball,
Izzy Moore has tacked on another accolade for the Wolves as the NCAA Division II Conference Information Directors of America National Player of the Week. Moore joins the likes of
Michaela Jewett who was honored as a D2CIDA National Player of the Week last season.
Moore, the second straight player from the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference to earn the national honor, averaged 33.5 points and 9.5 rebounds over the course of road wins over Bemidji State and Minnesota Duluth last week that brought the Wolves to 15-11 on the season. She went 23-of-36 (63.9 percent) from the field, two-of-five from three-point range and 19-of-21 (90.5 percent) at the free throw line while adding an assist and a steal.
She began her week with a 26-point, 11-rebound performance in a 73-55 win at Bemidji State, scoring 11 of her points in the opening quarter to help the Wolves build a nine-point lead. Moore finished nine-of-17 from the field with one three-point basket and seven-of eight at the line as she recorded her third double-double of the season. On Saturday in a 74-58 win over NSIC North Division leader Minnesota Duluth, Moore tallied a career-high 41 points – tying the second-most in a game in program history – as she scored NSU's first eight points and did most of her scoring damage in the second half when she had 27 of NSU's 39 points, including the last 12. Moore was selected as the Player of the Week in the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference's North Division.
