WOODLAND, Calif. -- UCLA freshman Ava Johnson (Walnut Creek, Calif./Las Lomas HS) has been named the MPSF/KAP7 Newcomer of the Week as announced by the league office today.
The freshman center scored two goals in two games as the Bruins nearly pulled off an upset at No. 1 Stanford (Apr. 6) and later posted a 13-3 win at No. 18 San Jose State (Apr. 7).
Against the Cardinal, Johnson scored one goal on one shot, UCLA's first goal of the game in the third quarter and one which sparked a 5-0 run after a 4-0 deficit. She drew four exclusions and added one field block in that game.
Playing only in the first half at San Jose State, Johnson scored once on her only shot. She also drew four exclusions, and had one steal and one field block against the Spartans.
