NCAA DIVISION II NATIONAL PLAYER OF THE WEEK – Tuesday, December 16, 2025

WOMEN: Kiley Dyrlund, 6-0, Senior, Walsh
Hometown: Canton, Ohio

Dyrlund had a spectacular offensive showing last week to lead the Cavaliers to two conference wins, shooting 88 percent from the field (21-of-24) and averaging 12.5 rebounds per game in victories over Findlay and Ursuline. She also had four assists, two blocked shots and four steals in the two contests as Walsh is off to an 8-2 start, its best since joining the NCAA Division II ranks and a 4-0 record in the Great Midwest Athletic Conference.

Dyrlund opened the week by going eight-of-nine from the floor for 18 points and pulling down 17 rebounds to match her career high in that department in a 49-42 win over Findlay. On Saturday, she poured in 26 points – scoring at least 20 for the fifth time this season – with eight rebounds, three assists and two steals in the 71-53 victory over Ursuline. Her efforts helped her earn G-MAC Player of the Week honors as she leads the conference in field goal percentage at 61.5 percent on the season.
