Peaking with a career-best in the final week of the regular-season, Humboldt State’s Alexia Thrower has been tapped as CCAA Player of the Week for Feb. 25-March 3, rounding out the 2018-19 season’s weekly winners.

Thrower, a junior from Las Vegas, recorded a pair of double-doubles during the weekend to tie for the CCAA lead with 15 on the year as she averaged 23.5 points and 13.0 rebounds. Thrower saved her best game for last after posting 13 points and 16 rebounds in Thursday’s victory over tournament-bound Sonoma State. She was in full-effect in the regular-season finale, with a career-best 34-point effort as Humboldt State defeated San Francisco State in Arcata.


Alexia Thrower capped the season with a career-best, 34-point effort versus SF State, and the junior averaged 23.5 points and 13.0 rebounds last week as HSU won its seventh and eighth consecutive games. Thrower recorded a pair of double-doubles last week and is tied for the conference lead with 15 total.

The weekly award is the second of the season for Thrower, and the third straight for the Humboldt State player as Tyra Turner earned honors a week ago.

Heading into the postseason winning their last eight games, Humboldt State opens their tournament title defense tonight as the Jacks host Cal State East Bay in the conference quarterfinals for the second-straight season. All four of tonight’s winning squads converge on Hayward this weekend to compete for the CCAA’s automatic bid to the NCAA Championship field. Tournament Central >>>
