OGDEN, Utah—Senior post Ali Forde was named Big Sky Player of the Week for her efforts in Idaho's 2-0 homestand last week.
Forde closed out her final homestand as a Vandal in dominate fashion, as Idaho swept the season series between both Portland State and Sacramento State last week. Forde was a big player, averaging 20 points, eight rebounds, three steals and two blocks per game.
Forde recorded her 19th career double-double, finishing with 17 points and 11 rebounds in a win over Portland State. Forde played 23 minutes in the win, shooting 58.3 percent (7-for-12), while also adding a career-high five steals to her tally.
In a win over Sacramento State on Saturday, Forde led the Vandals in scoring with a career-high 23 points on Senior Day. She posted 13 points in Idaho's 38-point first quarter on the way to a 107-60 win. She was near perfect from the field, going 9-for-11 in the win.
The honor is the first of her career.
