🔼  History Made. Last week, Tibet Görener became the Spartans all-time leader in three-pointers attempted. Last night, he became the undisputed three-point record holder. He made his 162nd career three-pointer in the second half of last night’s game against Fresno State. Check out the shot!

🔼 Break Out The Brooms. The Spartans swept this week’s Mountain West Swimming & Diving awards! Réka Kovács was named the Mountain West Swimmer of the Week after her wins in the 500-yard freestyle and the 200-yard butterfly. She broke the pool record in the 500-yard free. Jenna Jagielski earned Diver of the Week after qualifying for NCAA Diving Zones in both the 1-meter and 3-meter springboard. The Freshman of the Week honor went to Vilma Lindberg for swimming the fourth-fastest 200-yard breaststroke in program history.

🔼 Not Done Yet. The conference honors don’t stop there for the Spartans. Lauren Macpherson won her third Mountain West Gymnast of the Week honor and was named Co-Bars Specialist of the Week. She won the all-around, bars title, and a share of the beam title over the weekend. Madison Kirsch was named Vault Specialist of the Week after her first event title of the season.

🔼 Game-Changer. USA Today ranked Ken Niumatalolo the fourth-best head coach hire this offseason! Not only is he one of the best hires in the country, he’s added a deep lineup of experienced assistants to his staff. Spartan fans, get excited for a new era!
