The forward opened the week with a 16-point, 15-rebound double-double against Purdue Fort Wayne, and followed that up with a career-high tying 25-point effort against IUPUI. 

In her 25-point performance against the Jaguars, Ngwafang shot 84-percent from the floor (11-for-13), while she also combined for four assists and one steal on the week. 

So far this season, Ngwafang is averaging 9.1 points per game, and leads the Vikings with 104 total rebounds – ranking seventh among league players with 6.5 boards per game.
