MSU-N's Edwards earns Frontier honor

It’s been a few months, but the Montana State University-Northern women’s basketball team now has a Frontier Conference Player of the week.

Northern junior A’Jha Edwards earned the honor after she scored 23 points and grabbed 15 rebounds in MSU-N’s 71-61 win over the University of Great Falls Friday night in Havre. Edwards, a 6-5 center from Sierra Vista, Ariz., went 11-for-17 from the field and also pulled down six offensive boards. It was her eighth double-double of the season.

Rocky Mountain College’s Tyree Anderson was named Men’s Player of the Week. Anderson scored 28 points and made five 3-pointers in RMC’s 94-90 win at Westminster last Thursday night. MSU-Northern junior Corbin Pearson was also nominated for the award.

The MSU-N women are still ranked third in the new Frontier Power Rating. The Northern men are tied for fourth.
