NEW YORK – For the first time in her career, UConn women's basketball sophomore Allie Ziebell was named the BIG EAST Player of the Week, as announced by the conference Monday.
In a 97-39 win over Xavier last Wednesday, Ziebell broke out for a career-high 34 points on 11-15 shooting with 10 three pointers. The 10 threes tied the program record for most in a game, and the 34 points set the program record for most by a reserve player. Ziebell added three assists and two steals.
Ziebell had 10 points on 3-6 shooting and two rebounds in a 96-66 win over No. 15 Tennessee on Sunday.
The top-ranked Huskies (23-0, 12-0 BIG EAST) travel to DePaul (5-19, 2-11) on Wednesday at 8 p.m. ET on truTV.
