RICHARDSON, Texas – Angelo State University junior guard
Majik Esquivel was named the Lone Star Conference Offensive Player of the Week, the league announced in its first weekly release of the season Tuesday evening.
Esquivel, a commercial aviation major from Lubbock, Texas, averaged 21.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists to lead the Rambelles to a 2-0 start at the D2CCA Tipoff Classic in Canyon, Texas. She also knocked down seven 3-pointers and recorded two steals across the two victories.
Esquivel notched 17 points in an 86-81 overtime victory against New Mexico Highlands before scoring a game-high 26 points in ASU's 89-56 win over MSU Denver. She scored four points in the extra period, including the opening basket, and went a perfect 4-for-4 from the free-throw line against the Cowgirls.
Esquivel and the Rambelles return to action next weekend when they host the South Central Regional Challenge at the Junell Center-Stephens Arena. ASU will face Regis before closing the weekend against Adams State.
