SAN ANGELO, Texas — Angelo State junior guard Majik Esquivel was named the Lone Star Conference Offensive Player of the Week after helping the Rambelles open the basketball season with two victories.
The conference announced the honor Tuesday evening in its first weekly awards release of the season.
Esquivel, a Lubbock native, averaged 21.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists during the D2CCA Tipoff Classic in Canyon. She also made seven 3-pointers and recorded two steals across the two games.
The junior scored 17 points in ASU's 86-81 overtime victory over New Mexico Highlands before recording a game-high 26 points in an 89-56 win against MSU Denver.
Against New Mexico Highlands, Esquivel scored four points in overtime, including the opening basket, and finished 4-for-4 from the free-throw line.
Esquivel, a commercial aviation major, earned the weekly honor after entering the season as one of the conference's Players to Watch.
