MIAA Selects Sidney Wagner for Second Athlete of the Week Award This Season

Sidney Wagner of the Trine University women's basketball team has been named Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) Athlete of the Week.

Wagner was pivotal in the team's two victories last week. The #18 Thunder defeated Kalamazoo College at home on Wednesday by a mark of 82-45 and traveled to #17 Calvin University on Saturday, where Trine came away with a 59-54 win to remain in the chase for the conference championship.

The sophomore guard from Warsaw, Indiana was one of three players in double figures with 15 points against the Hornets and led the team with five assists and four steals in the game. She shot 5-for-6 from the field, made her only three-point attempt and was 4-for-4 from the charity stripe.

In the team's win in Grand Rapids, Wagner netted 24 points, the second-highest total for her career. She brought down five rebounds, dished out two assists and recorded two steals to add on to her resume. Wagner was turnover-free in the win over Calvin.

This season, Wagner is in the top five in the conference in multiple statistical categories. She is second in steals (1.9 steals per game), third in the MIAA in scoring (14.2 points per game), fifth in field goal percentage (50.4%), and third in three-point percentage (41.2%).
