Hannah Runyon didn’t play a minute in the fourth quarter of last weekend’s Pennysaver Tournament championship game win over Greene. She didn’t need to, her job was done, and done quite well.

Directing the Norwich offense as its point guard, Runyon had a team-high 10 points, the most for her team on a night when everyone on the roster scored. She directed the Norwich offense almost without error, she created opportunities for her teammates, and the Tornado were in complete control throughout the 30-point victory.

To reach the championship game, Runyon just missed a triple-double scoring 16 points, pulling down 11 rebounds, and dishing out eight assists in a 13-point victory over Oxford. Runyon was deservedly named the tournament’s most valuable player, and she is this week’s honoree as Smith Ford, Giant’s Warehouse/Evening Sun Athlete of the Week.
