Robinson, Olugbode Earn Athlete of the Week Honors
December 07, 2016 | Football, Women's Basketball
This week's athlete of the week honors are awarded to Alexis Robinson (women's basketball) and Kenneth Olugbode (football).
The women's basketball team has been on an absolute tear – a perfect 8-0 record to begin the season. Sophomore Alexis Robinson has put on a show in each of those eight games both offensively and defensively. In the team's last two games against Southeastern Louisiana and Idaho State, Robinson has averaged 13.5 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, and 1.5 steals. Not to mention she has shot lights out from beyond the arc – shooting 7-of-11 from 3-point range. Each of her game-high 16 points were scored in the first half of the win against Idaho State.
Kenneth Olugbode's performance in the 2016 PAC-12 Championship was certainly worth noting. He played a total of 77 plays from scrimmage. In that time, he recorded a game-high 19 tackles (6 solo) along with a third down stop and a share of a sack. He has now recorded over 100 tackles this season.
Also nominated for this week's honors: Derrick White (men's basketball).
White scored a game-high 17 points with six rebounds and two assists with the loss to Colorado State. During the game, he surpassed a total of 2,000 points over the span of his career. In a win over Portland, he had 13 points and tied a personal best three steals. In this game, White shot 56 percent (5-of-9) while also dishing out three assists and collecting two blocks. Over the two games, he averaged 15 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.5 steals, and 1.5 blocks.
