EUGENE, Ore. – Jaz Shelley has been named the Pac-12 freshman of the week for her historic performance in last week's win over UC Riverside, the conference announced on Monday.
Â
Shelley was firing on all cylinders last Monday in Matthew Knight Arena, breaking the UO single-game record with 10 made three-pointers while piling up a career-high 32 points. Shelley finished 10-of-14 from beyond the arc, besting the previous program record of nine.
Â
The Moe, Australia, native became the first UO freshman to score 30-plus points in a game since 2013-14, and her 10 made threes are the second most of any player in the nation this season. On the season, Shelley leads the Pac-12 and is tied for 29th nationally with a 45.3 shooting percentage from three-point range.
Â
Shelley is Oregon's second Pac-12 freshman of the week this season, and the Ducks have now had a player honored by the conference in three straight weeks. Holly Winterburn was the freshman of the week on Dec. 9, and Sabrina Ionesco was named Pac-12 player of the week last Monday.
Â
The Ducks (10-1), who moved up to No. 2 in the AP poll on Monday, will host Corban in an exhibition game on Dec. 28 before opening Pac-12 play at home against Colorado on Jan. 3.
