DENVER, Colo. – New Mexico State senior Sasha Weber earned College Sports Madness and Western Athletic Conference Player of the Week honors after leading the Aggies to three-straight victories last week, including two on the road.
 
This is the first weekly conference honor for Weber this season and the second of her career.
 
The 6-0 guard wrapped up a busy week for the Aggies with 43 points, 12 rebounds, seven assists, three blocks and three steals. The Lacey, Wash., product was also very efficient on the floor shooting 51.9-percent and 47.-4-percent from downtown.
 
In NM State's first road game, Weber put on a show for the Aggie fans that made the trek to San Jose, Calif., as the senior dropped 20 points on the Spartans to lead the Aggies to a 75-66 victory. She was 7-of-13 from the floor that night, with six of those seven made shots coming from three-point land.
 
She also took over the 13th spot in the Aggies' all-time scoring record books in the first half of the game against SJSU. She now has 1,285 career points through this weekend.
 
Weber was again NM State's offensive catalyst, reeling off a game-high 16 points against I-25 rival New Mexico in a hostile environment to give the Aggies a 52-47 victory. The win gave NM State its first season-sweep of the Lobos since the 1995-96 season. It was also the Aggies' third-straight win over UNM. The last time that happened, NM State had won 10-straight from the Lobos from 1992-96.
 
Earlier in the week against in-state foe, Eastern New Mexico, Weber put up modest numbers and finished with seven points on 3-of-6 shooting with six boards, four assists, two blocks and a steal.
 
In total, Weber averaged 14.3 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.0 blocks and 1.0 steals.
 
NM State has a short break for the holiday season before the Aggies hit the road for the second leg of their four-game road swing. The Aggies will now head to the Big Apple for the Fordham Holiday Classic (Dec. 29-30) and will face the Southeastern Conference's Vanderbilt in their opening game.
