• Perez reached the 30-point mark for the second time in three games, and eclipsed the 20-point plateau for the eighth time this year.

• She scored 21 of her 31 points between the second and third quarters that helped the Titans bridge a six-point deficit to provide an 11-point cushion.

• One of the Big West’s top shooters, Perez made 14-of-20 floor shots including both of her three-point attempts.

• Perez becomes just the second Titan in school history to earn three Player of the Week accolades in one season, joining Genia Miller, who took home six awards during the 1990-91 campaign.
