LOS ANGELES, Calif. (AP) -- UCLA junior Monique Billings (Corona, Calif./Santiago) was named the Pac-12 Player of the Week today as announced by the league.
Billings led the Bruins to a 2-0 week by averaging 15.5 points, 16.5 rebounds, 2.0 blocks, 1.5 assists and 1.0 steals per game while shooting 42.4 percent (14-for-33) from the field.
She opened with 19 points and eight rebounds in the 90-71 win over No. 9 Washington on Friday.
Then on Sunday, Billings had her 16th double-double of the year with 12 points and a career-best 25 rebounds. The rebounds tied UCLA's all-time single-game record (Denise Curry at Long Beach State, 3/10/78; and Natalie Williams vs. Arizona State, 2/20/94) and broke the Pauley Pavilion record of 23 (Janell Williams, Rutgers vs. UCLA, 1/3/94).
The two wins this extended the Bruins' home court winning streak to 27 straight games, including 19 in a row against Pac-12 teams.
This is Billings' second honor this season and UCLA's 47th all-time.
