Hobbs glitters with Kohawk women
If the Iowa Conference selected a pre-holiday MVP for women's basketball based on what's happened so far, Aleena Hobbs would be the easy winner.
She led the league in scoring and ranked third in rebounding heading into Saturday's game against Wisconsin-Eau Claire and twice has been named to the D3hoops.com National Team of the Week.
Hobbs had a fairly quiet game Saturday with 13 points and four rebounds for Coe, but the Kohawks did not need Super Hobbs in this contest and cruised to an 86-67 victory at Eby Fieldhouse.
The Kohawks (6-2) opened a 30-point lead in the second half and broke the school record with sixteen 3-pointers, including six more triples by sharpshooter Mickey Hansche.
Hobbs averaged 13.6 points and 6.9 rebounds last year as a freshman, but the Cedar Rapids Washington grad has raised her marks to 20.4 points and 8.4 rebounds after eight games this year.
