VERMILLION, S.D.–South Dakota senior guard
Jasmine Trimboli has been named the Summit League Women's Basketball Player of the Week for the period ended Feb. 18.
Trimboli earns the honor for the first time of her career after USD clinched at least a share of the Summit League regular season title on Saturday.
A native of Adelaide, Australia, Trimboli averaged 13 points, three steals, 2.5 rebounds and two assists in a pair of Coyote wins last week. She shot 66.7 percent (10-of-15) from the floor and a perfect 5-of-5 from the free-throw line.
Trimboli scored 16 points with five rebounds and three steals in a senior day victory over Oral Roberts. On defense, she also held ORU leading scorer Faith Ihim to just five points in the final three quarters. Trimboli added 10 points, three steals and a pair of assists in South Dakota's road victory at Omaha Wednesday.
South Dakota women's basketball is riding a Division I-era best 17-game winning streak entering the final game of the regular season with South Dakota State on Wednesday. The Coyotes host the Jackrabbits at 7 p.m. inside the Sanford Coyote Sports Center.
