UC Davis junior Allyson Hansen (Concord, Calif./Clayton Valley HS) earned Big West Women’s Water Polo Player of the Week recognition for her role in a pair of tournament victories.
The center scored two goals, assisted on two others, drew two exclusions and won two quarter sprints to help the No. 16-ranked Aggies upset No. 11 UC San Diego, 10-7, at its own Davis Challenge tournament.
In a 14-7 win against Azusa Pacific, Hansen scored a goal and had a drawn kick out in limited action, as mostly Aggie reserves played in that game.
UC Davis has now beaten three higher-ranked teams during the 2015 season.
Others nominated: Amy Yule (CSUN); Christina Kotsia (Long Beach State)
