SAN BRUNO, Calif. — Thanks to another week of averaging a double-double, this time turning in her WCC-leading 13th and 14th double-doubles on the year,
Leilah Vigil was named the West Coast Conference Player of the Week for the week of Feb. 24-March 1.
Â
Vigil helped lead San Francisco to two road wins to end the regular season, both of the come-from-behind variety. Monday's award was Vigil's second WCC Player of the Week nod this season after also earning it on Feb. 10.
Â
Thursday, she scored a team-high 17 points and grabbed 10 rebounds while tying her career high with three 3-pointers as the Dons erased a seven-point deficit at Pacific to come from behind and win. She hit both her free throws with 47 seconds left to start a perfect 10-for-10 stretch for the Dons that iced the victory.
Â
Saturday, she helped USF beat Saint Mary's for the first time in four years, and for the first time in five years in Moraga, by scoring 26 points - one shy of her career and season best - and pulled down another 10 rebounds. She went off in the second half as the Dons pulled away, going 7 for 10 from the floor with 15 points and seven rebounds after halftime.
Â
For the week, Vigil averaged 21.5 points, 10 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 1.0 assists per game while shooting 51.5% from the floor, 50.0% from 3-point range and 83.3% from the free-throw line.
Â
Vigil and San Francisco travel to Las Vegas this week for the 2020 WCC Championship Tournament, taking on Santa Clara in the first round at noon on Thursday.
