Sophomore forward Alisa Griggs achieved the first two double-doubles in her Urban Knight career this past weekend, earning a PacWest Weekly Top 10 Honor Roll selection in the process. For the week, Griggs averaged 13.0 points and 12.0 rebounds per game. She ranked fourth in the PacWest in rebounding for the week as well as 10th in scoring.

In her first game since scoring a career-high 21 points against Western Oregon, Griggs set a new career mark in rebounding with 14 boards against Alaska Fairbanks. She scored 16 points in that one and nearly had a double-double in the second half alone as ART U battled back. The sophomore forward then worked hard for a game-high five offensive rebounds out of the 10 she had along with 10 points against #10 Alaska Anchorage. Griggs now leads the Urban Knights in both categories (14.1 ppg, 7.7 rpg) and, after going 10-for-22 (45.5%) from the field this past week, she holds the highest field goal percentage among regular ART U starters.

“Alisa is a hard matchup down in the post because she's so quick and has a great mid-range game. She's tough to guard,” head coach LaNay Larson said. “I thought she worked really hard on the boards when she was in there."
