A comprehensive list of this week’s Silver and Gold top performers for Athlete of the Week

Meredith Spelbring

No, it is not just one person. But it does not take just one person to get to the No. 1 spot in the Big Sky. Yes, the “Splash Sisters” duo of senior guards Mikayla Ferenz and Taylor Pierce can knock down points unlike most others in the conference. As it currently stands ahead of the weekend contests, Ferenz is only 13 points away from the conference scoring record, for both men and women, and Pierce leads the nation in 3-pointers with 114 this season alone. While the two are undeniable talents, they have an incredibly talented group of athletes around them in Gina Marxen, the Klinker sisters and a number of others.
