En Fuego.
That's exactly what fifth-year UNBC Timberwolf Maria Mongomo was this past weekend against Thompson Rivers University (Nov. 22 and 23) and has now been named the Canada West Third Star of the Week.
The Las Palmas, Spain native recorded a double-double Friday night, dropping 29 points along with 16 rebounds, five steals and two assists in 22 minutes of action on the floor in a heartbreaking 68-66 OT loss.
She followed up her brilliance with 31 points, eight rebounds, three assists and four steals in 41 minutes in an 87-77 UNBC win on Saturday.
With her weekend success, Mongomo has now moved into top 10 in league scoring, rebounding and steals.
Mongomo has never finished outside of the top 10 in Canada West scoring in her collegiate career.
