After leading the UC Santa Barbara Gauchos to
an upset win over 24th-ranked UCLA in overtime,
sophomore guard Jessica Wilson earned Big West
women’s basketball player of the week honors for the
week ending Dec. 18. The Sacramento, Calif., native
drove the length of the court for the game-tying layup at
the end of regulation, and continued to dominate,
scoring 11 points in overtime to lift the Gauchos to a 90-
81 win over the Pac-10’s UCLA Bruins Wilson’s game
totals included 21 points, a game-high 11 rebounds
and four steals, which all established a career beast.
Saturday’s contest was the first game Wilson recorded
a double-double as a Gaucho.
