The 6-foot-3 junior scored a career-high 10 points on 5 of 7 shooting, while grabbing seven rebounds in just 13 minutes of the Jackrabbits' 97-49 rout of Savannah State on Dec. 14 at Frost Arena.
Bultsma had never reached double figures in 38 total appearances in the last three seasons, with a previous scoring high of eight points in a win at Omaha last season. She is averaging 3.3 points per game on 9-for-15 shooting in six outings this year.
