Onyenwere Repeats as UCLA/Muscle Milk Student-Athlete of Week
December 24, 2019 | Women's Basketball
For the second-straight week, junior forward Michaela Onyenwere of the UCLA women's basketball team has been selected the UCLA/Muscle Milk Student-Athlete of the Week (Dec. 16-22).
Onyenwere led No. 10 UCLA to two road victories to close out the non-conference slate last week with a 59-50 win at Georgia (Dec. 19) and a 68-58 win at No. 12/14 Indiana (Dec. 22). She scored 19 points and grabbed nine rebounds against the Bulldogs and tallied 25 points and had 11 rebounds vs. the Hoosiers for her third double-double of the year and the 19th of her career. The 25 points at Indiana marked the sixth time this season and the 24th time in her career that she has scored 20 or more points in a game. For the week, Onyenwere averaged 22.0 points and 10.0 rebounds to go with 2.5 assists, 1.5 steals, and 0.5 blocks per game as the Bruins improved to 11-0 on the year, just one victory shy of tying the school record of 12-0 to start a season, made by the 1980-81 squad.
This is Onyenwere's third UCLA/Muscle Milk Student-Athlete of the Week award of the season and fifth of her career.
