Tomlinson on fire

Aussie Sophomore Louella Tomlinson is on fire playing for Saint Marys in the NCAA Division 1 competition.

She recently had an incredible performance against the Boise State Broncos last week, recording her first career triple-double in points, rebounds, and blocks.

Tomlinson finished with game-highs in each category, totaling 26 points, 13 rebounds, and 11 blocked shots. She had the triple-double in hand with over five minutes to play in the contest, and also added three assists and one steal.

From the floor Tomlinson was 10-of-22, knocked down the only three she took, and was 5-of-6 from the free throw line.

Eleven blocks ties the forward's career-high, as she posted 11 last season against Loyola Marymount. Tomlinson currently ranks first in the nation in blocks per game, totaling 78 thus far for a 6.0 block per game average.

This is to go with a season average of 14.5ppg and 8.6rpg!

Pretty good effort if you ask me! She also broke the NCAA Div 1 record for blocks last season as a Freshman and is well on track to better that mark!

She is a 193cm Forward and product of the AIS.

Here is an interesting tid-bit: Her brother Nate Tomlinson is a Freshman point guard at Colorado and is leading his team in assists. Their father is Aussie coaching stalwart Bill Tomlinson, former assist coach to Brian Goorjian and if you recall he stepped in to coach Sydney when everything was falling to pieces.

Billy has a winning percentage in the 30s.

LC,

Mehtinks you'll find she is RAY's daughter and she has no brothers....Ray was certainly an Australian coaching stalwart....

Correct HO. Louella's dad is Ray, Sandra is her mum and she has three other sister's who all played at Melbourne. I think they were Sam, Clarissa and not sure of the other?
