Saint Mary's University of Minnesota Athletics

Blattner averaged a team-best 15.7 ppg and hauled in a team-leading 29 rebounds (9.7 rpg) in the Cardinal women's basketball team's first three games of the last season last week.

The junior kicked off her season with a 22-point, 11-rebound effort in Saint Mary's season-opening 61-60 win over Martin Luther last Wednesday, and followed that up with 11 points and eight boards against UW-La Crosse and 14 points and 10 rebounds against UM-Morris at last weekend's Saint Benedict Tournament.

Blattner heads into Tuesday's nonconference game against the University of Dubuque owning two double-doubles in Saint Mary's first three games, and 20 for her collegiate career.
