Martinez Brings Home First RMAC Weekly Award For The Pack This After Historic Offensive Performance This Past Week

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.Seneya Martinez put together the week of her career for the ThunderWolves, averaging 32.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists, and 3.0 steals per game to lead Colorado State University Pueblo to two critical wins and keep the Pack alive in the race for a spot in the RMAC Tournament. Martinez totaled 65 points on the week, shooting 67.6 percent from the field and 83.3 percent at the free throw line, while delivering two of the most impactful performances by any RMAC player this season.

Martinez opened the week with a career-high 36 points on 14-of-18 shooting from the floor and an 8-of-9 effort from three-point range in a 79–68 home upset of UCCS. The 36-point outburst is tied for the fourth-most points scored in a single game this season by an RMAC player and tied for the fifth-most by a ThunderWolves player in program history. The performance also surpassed by one point the highest single-game scoring total recorded by Alisha Little, the program's two-time All-American, during her four-year career.

Her eight made three-pointers rank as the third-most in a game in school history and the second-most by an RMAC player this season, trailing only the school record of nine, which was tied earlier this year by current teammate Anyla Owens. In the win over UCCS, Martinez also contributed three rebounds, one assist, and three steals in 35 minutes of action, marking the highest single-game scoring performance by a CSU Pueblo women's basketball player this season.

She followed up that effort with another standout performance on the road at Colorado Christian, tallying 29 points on 11-of-19 shooting from the field in a 62–52 victory. Martinez scored 23 of her 29 points in the second half, finishing just four points shy of Colorado Christian's entire second-half output of 27. She added eight rebounds, including seven on the defensive glass, along with two assists and three steals in 32 minutes as the ThunderWolves pulled away late.

For the season, Martinez is now averaging 14.6 points per game and has scored in double figures in six consecutive contests. She has posted two games of 30 or more points, 18 double-digit scoring performances overall, and seven games with at least 20 points, continuing to emerge as one of the conference's premier offensive players.

The weekly honor marks the first RMAC weekly award for the ThunderWolves this season, coming a year after Alisha Little captured 10 RMAC weekly honors during her standout final campaign. Martinez's surge has helped CSU Pueblo win three straight games and four of its last five overall, as the Pack currently sit seventh in the RMAC standings and firmly back in the hunt heading into the final weeks of the regular season.
