Big West Conference

UC Santa Barbara forward Olivia Bradley turned in career best performances in a two-win week for the Gauchos to claim Big West Player of the Week. With the two victories, UCSB punched their ticket into the field of the 2025 Hercules Tires Big West Women’s Basketball Championship, presented by Credit Union 1. 

Coming off the bench for back-to-back big performances, Bradley averaged 16.0 points on 65 percent shooting, 8.0 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game. Bradley was also a combined 8-for-8 from the line for the nation’s leading free throw shooting squad. 

In Thursday's blowout win at Cal State Fullerton, the redshirt freshman scored 14 points on 5-of-7 shooting, adding five rebounds and two blocks.  

On Saturday against Long Beach State, Bradley scored a career-high 18 points on 6-of-10 shooting and added 11 rebounds to lead all players in both categories in a first career double-double performance. The Adelaide, South Australia native put in 16 points in the first half, helping the Gauchos establish their 10-point halftime lead, which they would never relinquish.
