Latrina Woods may have had one of her best weekends as an Evergreen basketball player. It got better Tuesday, when she was named Cascade Collegiate Conference Player of the Week for the first time of her Evergreen career. In fact, it’s the first time a Geoduck women’s basketball player has received the honor this season. This comes just one week after Geoduck men’s standout Nate Menefee received the same honor.
Woods shone the brightest when the Geoducks needed her the most. Coming into two must-win games over the weekend, the junior from Skyway, Wash., combined for 36 points, 11 rebounds, six assists, and five steals. Evergreen State coach Monica Heuer has praised Woods week in and week out for her gutsy play and ability to penetrate opposing defenses. The Geoduck guard ranks in the top ten in the CCC in four different categories including forth in steals with 61 (2.77/gm) and sixth in scoring with 305 points on the season (13.9/gm). If the Geoducks plan to make a run into the post season, it would most definitely have to be on the back of Latrina Woods, the heartbeat of the women’s team.
