Sophomore standout Olivia Hayenga led the charge with an outstanding performance between two powerhouse teams last Saturday, earning her the well-deserved title of NJCAA Player of the Week (10) and MCAC Southern Division Player of the Week.

Ladyjays secured a commanding 73-52 victory over Anoka-Ramsey on February 3. The highly anticipated rematch between Minnesota West and Anoka-Ramsey showed the fierce competition and showcased the collective effort fueled by teamwork, resilience, and determination.

With a staggering 22 points and 14 rebounds to her name, Hayenga solidified her status as one of the most formidable players in NJCAA Division III. After this crucial win, the Ladyjays moved up to the third place position in the NJCAA Division III and remained second in the MCAC southern division.

Congratulations to Olivia Hayenga for her exceptional talent and leadership and kudos to the Minnesota West Ladyjays as they set their sights on getting back to the National Tournament in March.
