MILWAUKEE - Senior Ashley Green of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee women's basketball team was named the Horizon League Player of the Week, the league office announced this afternoon.
 
She was also selected as the National High-Major Player of the Week by College Sports Madness, in addition to its league player of the week.

The Horizon League honor is the first of Green's career and the first for a UWM player since mid-February of last season.
 
Green was phenomenal in a pair of Milwaukee wins last week, averaging 29.5 points, 9.5 rebounds and 3.5 steals on 57 percent shooting from the field.
 
She posted a near double-double of 31 points and nine rebounds in the win over Valparaiso midweek, giving her a third game of 30-or-more points this season, the first Panther to accomplish that feat since Traci Edwards in 2008-09.
 
Then, on Saturday, she finished with a double-double of 28 points and 10 boards, sinking the game-tying free throws in the final seconds of regulation before making the game-winner on a putback layup with 5.2 seconds left in overtime to send Milwaukee to the thrilling 64-63 win over UIC.
