Imai Named NWC Women’s Basketball Student-Athlete of the Week
Kaitlin Imai was named the Northwest Conference Women's Basketball Student-Athlete of the Week for the week of December 30 - January 6 based on her performance in a 66-56 victory over George Fox University.
Imai led Willamette by scoring 22 points, grabbing four rebounds, and earning three steals. She contributed to ten Bearcat points in a second quarter that saw Willamette turn a seven-point deficit into a three-point half-time lead on their way to sending the Bruins to only their second loss of the season.
This was Imai's ninth game this season scoring in double figures and her fourth time scoring twenty points or more. She is currently second on the team and fourth in the Northwest Conference in scoring with an average of 15.3 points per game.
