Cyclone center Fernstrom wins second weeky honor

IRVING, Texas — For the second time this year, Iowa State center Bryanna Fernstrom earned the Big 12 Conference Freshman of the Week honor, the league announced Monday.

Fernstrom collected her first career double-double when she scored 20 points and grabbed a career-high 11 rebounds in just 20 minutes of action against Fairfield last week.

She was 7-of-11 from the floor, including 2-for-2 from long range and 4-for-4 from the charity stripe.

The Center City, Minn., native is the only player in the Big 12 to win multiple weekly awards this season. And ISU has had seven different freshman of the week honorees over the past four seasons. No other school in the conference has had more than three.

The Cyclones return to action Dec. 29 against Howard in the Cyclone Challenge at Hilton Coliseum.
