Sophomore Devin Hudson (Ontario, Calif./Colony HS) garnered Big West Women's Basketball Player of the Week accolades as she averaged a double-double in a Long Beach State split of its final two regular season games.
The 6-3 center averaged 17.5 points and 15.0 rebounds while shooting 68.2 (15 of 22) percent from the field.
Hudson turned in a monster performance in Saturday's 71-58 triumph at first place co-leader Cal Poly, snapping a six-game win streak by the Mustangs in the process. She notched career-highs of 22 points and 20 rebounds, the first 49er to achieve a 20-20 since 1995. Hudson also was the first 49er to grab at least 20 boards since 2005.
She also played a pivotal role in shutting down Cal Poly leading scorer, Molly Schlemer, holding her to four points on 1-of-9 shooting. Hudson blocked a pair of attempts in the game and knocked down 9 of 14 floor shots on the offensive end.
In a 59-50 loss at UC Santa Barbara, Hudson delivered her first double-double of the week with 13 points and 10 caroms. She made 6 of 8 from the floor.
Over the two games, Hudson led the team in points (35), points per game (17.5), rebounds (30), rebounds per game (15.0), field goal percentage (68.2) and blocks (2). She tops all 49ers with eight double-doubles on the season.
