Ionescu Repeats as Pac-12 Player of the Week
01/27/20 | Women's Basketball
EUGENE, Ore. – Sabrina Ionescu has been named the Pac-12 player of the week for the second straight week and the third time this season, the league office announced on Monday morning.
Ionescu now owns 11 career conference player of the week awards, the second-most in league history.
The senior led the Ducks to the program's first series sweep of Oregon State since 2010 over the weekend, playing all 40 minutes in both games while averaging 21.0 points, 6.0 rebounds and 6.0 assists. She raised her career assists total to 950, moving her past Gary Payton (938, Oregon State) as the Pac-12 all-time assists leader for both men and women.
Ionescu dropped 23 points with nine assists in Friday's home win over the then-No. 7 Beavers, and then scored a team-high 19 points with eight rebounds in an emotional win on Sunday on Corvallis.
On the season, Ionescu leads the Ducks with 17.7 points per game while adding 8.7 rebounds and an NCAA-leading 8.3 assists per game. The Walnut Creek, Calif., native leads the nation with four triple-doubles this year, extending her NCAA all-time record to 22 for her career.
The Ducks moved up one spot to No. 3 in the Associated Press poll on Monday following their Civil War sweep. Oregon will travel to Utah (Thursday) and Colorado (Saturday) this week before going to Storrs, Conn., to face No. 4 UConn on Monday.
