Michigan senior guard Courtney Boylan was awarded the first Big Ten's women's basketball Player of the Week honor Monday.

Boylan, a 5-foot-7 guard from Chaska, Minn., scored a career-high 21 points in the Wolverines' 69-66 win at Florida on Friday.

Boylan also tied a career-high with seven rebounds while collecting an assist in 35 minutes of action against Florida.

The award was the first of Boylan's career and the first honor by a Michigan player since Veronica Hicks won it on Jan. 17, 2011.

Michigan returns to the floor Monday for a 6 p.m. home game against Florida Atlantic.
