SAN BRUNO, Calif. – San Francisco sophomore forward Leilah Vigil has been named the West Coast Conference Women’s Basketball Player of the Week, the conference office announced Monday.
Two double-doubles, a career high and a game-winning basket made Leilah Vigil's week, as she turned in back-to-back double-doubles in two games and scored what was the eventual game-winning basket for the Dons on Saturday versus Loyola Marymount.
Vigil averaged 20.5 points and 13 rebounds during the week with her WCC-leading ninth and 10th double-doubles of the season. That included a career-high 27 points on Saturday versus the Lions. With 8.6 seconds left and a tie game versus LMU, Vigil drove right from the top of the key, split two defenders and made a layup off the glass that would stand and give the Dons a 70-68 victory.
She went 13-for-15 from the free-throw line Saturday to shoot 86.7% from the charity stripe on the week. From the floor, she was a 58.3% shooter (14 for 24), including a 70% showing on Thursday versus Pepperdine. She also threw in three assists, two steals and a block for the week.
Also Nominated: Valerie Higgins, Pacific; Barbara Sitanggan, Pepperdine; Kate Andersen, Portland; Sam Simons, Saint Mary’s, Leticia Soares, San Diego
