Gilham, MSU-N wrestlers honored

Montana State University-Northern athletes got plenty of recognition for efforts last week.

MSU-Northern's Tiara Gilham was named Frontier Conference Women's Basketball Player of the Week. Gilham is a 5-foot-10 senior forward from Browning. MSU-Northern split their home series with (RV) Montana Western. The Skylights lost Saturday 75-58 and edged the Bulldogs 72-70 on Sunday.

Gilham averaged 19 points, six rebounds and one steal per game. She was 15 of 28 from the field and 7 of 8 from the free throw line. She scored the winning basket in the final seconds in the Sunday game.

The MSU-Northern wrestling team was also picked as the Cascade Conference Team of the Week, after the Lights stormed back to beat arch rival Providence in their second dual of the season last Thursday night in Great Falls.
