You know your team is on a roll when they are winning. The Oregon Women’s Basketball team has won nine of their last ten games and five straight for the first time since 2004. Kelly Graves has this team believing they can win games and they are learning how to do it on the job in 2016. From a 17 point comeback last week on the road at Washington to a poor start on Sunday facing Colorado they came through in the end to pick up their 19th victory of the season.
The Pac-12 Conference named Jillian Alleyne Pac-12 Player of the Week and Freshman Maite Cazorla Freshman of the Week for the sixth time this season and the first time on back to back weeks for the young Oregon Ducks Point Guard. Alleyne picked up her Oregon Leading 90th Career Double Double in the comeback win over the Buffaloes and helped the team to a key win over the Utah Utes late last week.
Maite Cazorla is dishing the ball to her team mates this season and is already among the top 10 in assists for her young career. She has 146 assists on the year, good enough for 7th best at Oregon and is in the Top 20 nationally with 5.8 per game, the best among Freshman players nationally in 2016.
