MOORHEAD, Minn. (11/12/18)---Concordia senior guard Grace Wolhowe was named the first MIAC Player of the Week this season after she averaged 17.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and 4.0 assists in the Cobbers' first two games of the season.

Wolhowe started her weekend by scoring 18 points, grabbing six rebounds and recording five assists in the Cobbers' last-minute loss against Calvin. She was 7-for-12 (58.3%) from the floor and went 2-for-5 (40.0%) from behind the arc.
