Another honor for the well-decorated Duck.

Oregon’s Sabrina Ionescu was named the Pac-12 Player of the Week for games played last week. It is the second time this season that Ionescu has taken home the weekly honors and the eighth time in her career that she’s won the award.

Ionescu helped lead the Ducks to two victories last week, both on the road. During those two games, she averaged 27.0 points per game on 62.9 percent shooting from the field, 75.0 percent shooting from the three-point line, 7.0 rebounds, and 6.0 assists.

In the Ducks 105-82 win over the Cal Golden Bears, Ionescu put up 27 points on 66.7 percent shooting from the field, 3-4 from distance, five rebounds, four assists, and two steals.

She followed that up in one of Oregon’s biggest wins of the season, an 88-48 victory over No. 11 Stanford, with 27 points on 60 percent shooting, 3-4 from three, nine rebounds, eight assists, and two steals.

Ionescu has been one the best players not only in the Pac-12 this season, but in the entire nation. She’s helped lead the Ducks to the No. 3 spot in country and they look like they’re a legitimate threat to win the national championship next month. She is eligible to enter the WNBA Draft in April and she is considered by many to be the probable No. 1 pick should she decide to declare.

On the season, she is putting up 19.3 points per game on 45.1 percent shooting from the field, 44.8 percent from the three-point line, 86.8 percent from the free-throw line, 7.2 rebounds, and 8.0 assists. Her assists mark is good enough for third overall in the nation.

This season, she surpassed Kyle Collinsworth for most career triple-doubles in NCAA history among both men and women. His record was 12, she now stands at 16 and counting.

Oregon continues conference play this week against Oregon State.
