Linfield's junior forward, Miki Vermeulen, has been recognized as the Northwest Conference Women's Basketball Student-Athlete of the Week in a release on Monday afternoon. In three victories this week, Vermeulen totaled 36 points, 31 rebounds and seven blocks all while shooting the ball at a 54.2% clip.
 
Her best performance came against Southwestern in the Ken Schumann Classic in Forest Grove, where the junior showed her all-around capabilities with 17 points on 6-for-8 shooting, nine boards, three blocks and two steals. Her effort and efficiency proved crucial in the 75-57 Linfield triumph.
 
The Renton, Wash. native already has a double-double on the season and ranks third in the NWC in rebounds, averaging 8.6 per contest. She also finds herself in the top 10 in field goal percentage at 54.3% on the season.
 
Vermeulen is a product of Liberty High School and daughter to Tiffany and Dave Vermeulen. She is majoring in data science at Linfield.
 
The Wildcats are off to their best start since the 2005-06 season where they started 6-0 before suffering their first loss. At 5-0, Linfield welcomes Corban to Ted Wilson Gymnasium on Tuesday where it looks to extend the winning streak.
