Ashley Baker and Napoleon Gordon became the fourth and fifth basketball players from Lewis-Clark State College to earn Frontier Conference Player of the Week awards this season when the league announced the weekly award winners on Friday.

Baker, a 6-foot-3 senior post from Omak, Wash., led the Warriors to a pair of victories last week over University College of Fraser Valley 73-42 and 87-69. In the two victories over the Canadian team, Baker averaged 23 points, 11.5 rebounds and 1.5 steals per game. She was 17-of-30 from the field and 12-of-18 at the foul line.

Baker is the third member of the Warrior women’s team to earn the award this season, joining fellow seniors Janeen Nelson and Aundrea Morrison.

Gordon, a 6-0 freshman guard from Silverdale, Wash., also helped the Warriors post a 2-0 record against Fraser Valley with impressive 78-49 and 100-61 victories. Gordon average 15.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists and two steals per game. He hit 63 percent of his field goals, including a perfect 5-of-5 at the 3-point line.

Gordon is the second LCSC men’s player to earn the award. Mike Gordy, a 6-7 post, won the award in October.
