by USC’s do-it-all forward Alissa Pili (Inupiaq) ran her double-digit streak out to six games and has kept USC’s Pac-12 Freshman of the Week win streak alive in capturing her second selection for the weekly honor from the conference. Pili won it two weeks ago, and Endyia Rogers earned the pick last week. It’s the first time in program history that USC has had multiple Pac-12 Freshman of the Week honorees in a single season.
On this latest stretch of Pac-12 play, Pili scored 18 points in a triple-OT loss at No. 19 ASU and served up 21 in a loss at No. 16 Arizona. She scored the first 10 points for USC against the Wildcats en route to her team-best 15th double-digit outing.
Pili leads USC 18.1 points and 8.7 rebounds per game to date as the Trojans next shove off for the Bay Area to face California on Friday (Feb. 7) and Stanford on Sunday (Feb. 9).
