Piggott wins Mid-Con Player of the Week--The Oakland Press
Oakland senior Nicole Piggott (Pewamo, Mich.) became the second consecutive Golden Grizzly to be named the Mid-Continent Conference’s women’s basketball Player of the Week.
Piggott averaged 21.5 points and 6.0 rebounds in a 1-1 week for Oakland. She recorded 19 points and six rebounds to help lead OU to a 68-62 upset at Eastern Michigan last Wednesday. The 5’11” forward followed that performance with 24 points and six rebounds in a 69-57 loss at Central Michigan Sunday.
Piggott currently leads the Golden Grizzlies in scoring (16.8 points per game) and rebounding (7.0 average). She is among the league leaders in several categories, including scoring (second), rebounding (fourth) and assists, averaging 3.20 (sixth).
This is the fifth time in Piggott’s career she has been tabbed player of the week. Piggott follows freshman Hanna Reising as the second straight OU player to win.
