The student-athlete for this week is Sophomore basketball star, Stella Eckhart. Eckhart is successful both on the court and in the classroom, managing to balance her schoolwork with basketball workouts and games. I asked her a few questions about getting this award.

How do you feel being named student-athlete of the week?

Feels really good, exciting news, it’s an honor I’ve been working hard for it. 

How do you feel about the women’s basketball season next year?

I’m excited about the season, but we’re losing Audrey Erickson, so the game will be different for us for sure because she’s one of our best players so we don’t really know what to expect.
