SIOUX FALLS, S.D.—South Dakota senior Hannah Sjerven has been named the Summit League women's basketball player of the week for the period ended Feb. 28.
 
Sjerven posted back-to-back double-doubles in leading the Coyotes to a pair of wins over third-seeded North Dakota State. She averaged 18 points, 12 rebounds and 3.5 blocks for the weekend. This marks her third Summit League weekly honor this season and the fifth in her career.
 
Sjerven's senior day stat line included 24 points, 12 rebounds, five blocks and four assists. She also had the game-winning free throw on Saturday after being fouled on an offensive putback in the final second. It was one of her seven offensive boards on the weekend. Sjerven moved to second in school history on Sunday for career blocks (178).
 
Hailing from Rogers, Minnesota, Sjerven is the league's leader in rebounds and blocks. She ranks in the nation's top-25 for both categories. She's reached double figures in 20 of 21 games with a league-best nine double-doubles this year.
