Last week presented a number of standout performances in women’s college basketball. Here are five of the best through games played through Sunday, Jan. 1.
Grace Boffeli, Northern Iowa
Northern Iowa junior forward Grace Boffeli led the Panthers to a pair of wins over Bradley and Illinois State, averaging just shy of a double-double in the process. Over the two games, Boffeli averaged 21 points, 9.5 rebounds, one assist and led the Panthers in scoring in each contest.
In an 83-64 win over Bradley on Dec. 30, Boffeli only had two points in the first half against the Braves, but roared out to 15 points in the final two quarters to help put the game away in the third.
On New Year’s Day against Illinois State, UNI prevailed 74-64 as Boffeli came one-point shy of tying a career-high, scoring 25 against the Redbirds and picking up her fourth double-double of the year.
With her offensive output this past week, Boffeli is now fourth in the Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) in scoring, averaging 16.8 points a game.
UNI, 7-4 overall, is off to 2-0 start in MVC play on the road for the first time since 2017 with Sunday’s win. The Panthers will return home to play Murray State on Jan. 6.
