FHSU Sports Information

Fort Hays State’s Chelsea Mason was named the MIAA Women’s Basketball Athlete of the Week, announced Monday by the conference.

Mason, a sophomore guard from Bellevue, Neb., averaged 23.3 points per game to help the Tigers go 3-0 in the conference last week. She had at least 20 points in all three games, and shot 52.6 percent from beyond the arc. Game-by-game, Mason had 20 points versus Southwest Baptist, 25 versus Lindenwood and 25 versus Lincoln. More impressive, the guard played just 69 minutes of game action – or just over half of the the possible 120 regulation minutes available.

The Tigers travel to Central Oklahoma and Northeastern State this weekend as they continue their trek through the MIAA. FHSU is 11-2 overall on the season and 4-2 in the MIAA.
