This week's "C Spire Athlete of the Week" is Ariel Wilson of the women's basketball team. Wilson, a 5'5 freshman guard, helped carry Belhaven to a pair of upset victories in Southern States Athletic Conference games this past week. Wilson fired in 22 points and grabbed seven rebounds in a road win at Loyola on Thursday. She followed that up by leading all scorers with a career high 33 points, shooting 59% from the field (10-17) against #15 Bethel on Saturday. The Brandon, Miss native was also one rebound shy of recording her first double-double for the Blazers, ending the game with nine rebounds. As a freshman, Wilson leads the Blazers in scoring with an average of 19 points per game. Wilson was named the SSAC and NAIA National Player of the Week.
