ERIE, Pa. - Gannon’s Kim
Vargas (Sterling, Va./Broad Run) has been named Great Lakes Intercollegiate
Athletic Conference (GLIAC) Women’s Basketball Player of the Week for the
second time this season. The award was based on games played during the holiday

Vargas averaged 15.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 2.3 assists during three games
over the holiday break. The sophomore forward has scored at least 12 points

The Sterling, Va., native began the holiday break with 26 points and 10 rebounds
during two games against Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC) foe Bellarmine
(Ky.) and nationally-ranked Stonehill (Mass.) at the Cruzin Classic in Miami
Shores, Florida. Vargas then reached the 20-point plateau for the third time
with 20 points during a 72-66 victory at West Virginia Wesleyan last Sunday.
She added six rebounds and three assists while hitting 10-of-14 shots against
the Bobcats.
