Wayne State University's Taylor Thompson has been recognized as the GLIAC Women's Basketball Defensive Player of the Week. The announcement was made by the league office earlier today.

Thompson, a junior from Grand Blanc, Michigan, played a crucial role in Wayne State's victory over Northwood last Thursday. She secured eight defensive rebounds and achieved a game-high total of 15 boards. Her efforts contributed to limiting Northwood to 33 percent shooting and just seven second-chance points. Despite Northwood missing 46 shots, they managed only 11 offensive rebounds.

The Warriors are set to face Hillsdale in a non-conference game on Wednesday at 5:30 p.m., followed by a match against Tiffin on Saturday at 3 p.m. This will conclude their season-opening series of five games against former GLIAC members now part of the GMAC.
