HILLSBORO, Ore. — Pacific Lutheran University's Kylie Griffin was unstoppable over the weekend and on Monday was rewarded for her work, winning Northwest Conference Women's Basketball Player of the Week accolades.

The senior from Lake Tapps, Washington averaged 22.0 points per game and 8.5 rebounds per game in a pair of home games to open the 2026-2027 season.

Griffin poured on 31 points and added 11 rebounds in Friday's 80-72 comeback win over Warner Pacific University. The senior averaged nearly a point a minute in the opener, helping the Lutes rally from a 15-point deficit to secure the win in Head Coach Aly Lacey's PLU debut. Her 31 points was just five shy of the school single game record held by both Tanya Wilson (36 points vs. Whitman on 1/28/1995) and Samantha Potter (36 points vs. Whitworth on 1/6/2012).

Two days later, the Sumner High School graduate had 13 points and six steals against Howard Payne University.

Griffin finished the opening homestand of the season as the leading scorer in the NWC. In addition to scoring 44 points and grabbing 17 rebounds, Griffin also had five assists, four steals, and a pair of blocks.

The Lutes hit the road this week, flying to the Lone Star State for a two-game road swing against Austin College and the University of Dallas.
