Wheaton, Ill. – Wheaton's Jenna Hunter has been named the CCIW Women's Basketball Student-Athlete of the Week. Today's announcement marks the first time in her career the senior has earned the award from the conference.

Hunter helped lead the Thunder to a pair of season opening wins in California last weekend. In their season opener against La Verne, Hunter notched her second career double-double with a 23-point, 10-rebound effort against the Leopards. She also had two steals and two blocked shots in Wheaton's 67-51 win. Hunter followed up her outstanding performance with another double-digit scoring afternoon on Saturday as she tallied 18 points and eight boards in a 53-47 defeat of Pomona-Pitzer.

Through two games, Hunter is averaging 20.5 points per game and 9 rebounds per game.

Hunter and the Thunder will play host to the annual Beth Baker Classic this weekend. The Thunder will square off against the Olivet Comets on Friday at 7 PM, before battling the Maryville Scots on Saturday afternoon at 4:00 p.m.
