Western Washington University point guard Corinn Waltrip has been named the Red Lion/Great Northwest Athletic Conference women's basketball co-Player of the Week for Jan. 13-19.

The weekly honor is the second for Waltrip.

Waltrip scored 35 points, including a career-high 24 in the Vikings' 78-76 home win against Montana State Billings on Saturday. She made 11 of 24 shots including 9 of 17 from beyond the arc and had eight assists in the two games, the other a 61-44 triumph over Seattle Pacific.

Waltrip is averaging 10.5 points per game, shooting 43.1 percent (31 of 72) from 3-point range and 80.6 percent (25 of 31) at the free-throw line.

Waltrip, who was a preseason GNAC all-star pick, earned second-team honors last season and has been named to four all-tournament teams. She also is a two-GNAC academic all-star.

WWU, off to a 13-2 start and ranked No. 8 nationally, is atop the league standings at 7-0 and riding a seven-game winning streak.
