Junior Jamie McCaa led the Matadors in scoring in a
pair of wins last week against Southeastern Louisiana
and Portland, earning her Big West Women’s
Basketball Player of the Week Honors for the week
ending Dec. 25. In both games, the 5-foot-7 guard was
just shy of a double-double and just missed out on a
triple-double against Portland. Against the Lady Lions,
McCaa scored a season-high 20 points on 9-of-15
shooting, also making a pair of three-pointers. The
Bakersfield, Calif., native also grabbed nine rebounds,
which surpassed her previous career best of eight set
one game prior at USC.
In the matchup against
Portland, she tallied 18 points and eight rebounds
while dishing out a career- high nine assists. So far this
season McCaa is shooting 50 percent (35-of-70) from
the field and ranks seventh in the Big West in assists.
