SAN FRANCISCO – Cal senior Kristine Anigwe has been named the Pac-12 Player of the Week for the third time this season, the conference office announced on Monday. The 6'4" center/forward averaged 29.5 points and 20.5 rebounds per game as Cal completed the weekend sweep of Washington State and Washington. Arizona's Cate Reese was named the Pac-12 Freshman of the Week.

A three-time All-Pac-12 selection, Anigwe opened the weekend with a 29-point, 23-reboud effort in Friday's win over Washington State, also chipping in two steals and two blocked shots in 33 minutes of actions. Anigwe's 23 rebounds set a new season-high and were the most by any Pac-12 player in the last two seasons. Anigwe leads the nation in rebounding this season at 15.2 rebounds per game, more than a full rebound ahead of every other player in Division I basketball this season, men's or women's. Friday also marked Anigwe's second game this season with at least 20 points and 20 rebounds and the third such outing of her Golden Bear career.

In Sunday's game against Washington, Anigwe put together her third 30-point performance of the season, finishing with 30 points and 18 rebounds in Cal's 79-70 win over the Huskies. Anigwe shot a season-high 72.2 percent (13-18) from the floor on Sunday and went a perfect 4-4 from the foul line.

"[Kristine's] had video-game numbers for her whole career," Cal head coach Lindsay Gottlieb said after Sunday's win. "But I don't know if she's played better basketball than she did this weekend, given how much we needed the two wins and how efficient she was."

With her efforts this weekend, Anigwe also extended her double-double streak to 18 in a row dating back to last season, moving into a tie with former Pac-12 standouts Cheryl Miller and Jillian Alleyne for the seventh-longest double-double streak in Division I Women's Basketball history. 

Anigwe is tied for first in the nation with 17 double-doubles this season and is sixth in the country in scoring, averaging 22.7 points per game on the year.

Cal will be back in action on Friday, taking on No. 21 Utah (16-1, 5-1 Pac-12) at 7 p.m. MT/6 p.m. PT in Salt Lake City.
