COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. --- Western Colorado's Samantha Coleman's record-tying 3-point performance Saturday and strong overall weekend was rewarded Monday as the junior was named the RMAC Women's Basketball Offensive Player of the Week.

Coleman tied a Mountaineer women's record with seven 3-pointers and had a career-high 25 points in a 78-53 victory over University of the Southwest on Saturday at the CMU Holiday Inn - Airport Thanksgiving Classic in Grand Junction. She's the fourth Mountaineer to hit seven 3-pointers in a game with it most recently done last season by Chandler Willis against Fort Lewis.



The day before in a win over Montana Western, Coleman had nine points, four rebounds, three assists and two steals.

On the season, Coleman is averaging a team-best 13.3 points (13th in the RMAC) and is 14-for-25 from 3-point range (56 percent - tops in the RMAC) to go along with 4.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.5 steals per contest.

The Mountaineers begin RMAC play Friday as they travel to take on Colorado School of Mines.
