STANFORD, Calif. – Stanford senior Cameron Brink was named an Ann Meyers Drysdale National Player of the Week by the U.S. Basketball Writers Association (USBWA) on Tuesday.
It's Brink's second such honor this season. She was also awarded Ann Meyers Drysdale National Player of the Week honors on Nov. 14.
Brink was instrumental in a road sweep of Washington and Washington State that drove Stanford to the top of the Pac-12 and from sixth to third in this week's Associated Press poll. In a 63-59 triumph in overtime at Washington, Brink was 8-for-15 from the field and scored 22 points with nine rebounds and six blocks. She followed in Sunday's 73-58 win at Washington State with 21 points, 11 rebounds, five assists and a career-high five steals.
In the two road wins, Brink averaged 21.5 points, 10.0 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 4.0 blocks and 3.0 steals. Sunday's effort in Pullman was just the third 20-point, 10-rebound, 5-assist, 5-steal performance in the Pac-12 since 1999-2000, joining Arizona's Davellyn White on Jan. 18, 2013 at Utah and UCLA's Noelle Quinn on Jan. 2, 2005 against Oregon State. She's one of two major conference players to do it in the country this season (Hannah Hidalgo – Notre Dame – 2x).
New this year, the USBWA is handing out five Ann Meyers Drysdale weekly honors each week. Brink was honored along with Syracuse's Dyaisha Fair, Virginia Tech's Elizabeth Kitley, Indiana's Chloe Moore-McNeil and Iowa's Hannah Stuelke.
Brink and the No. 3 Cardinal are home this weekend when they host California on Friday, Feb. 16 at 7 p.m.
