SAN RAMON, Calif. — UC San Diego senior Dalayna Sampton helped the Tritons to a pair of victories en route to California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) Player of the Week for Jan. 22-28. The weekly award is her third of the season.

The forward from Vallejo recorded averages of 21.5 points and 10.5 rebounds along with 3.0 steals, 2.0 assists and 2.0 blocks in wins over Cal State San Marcos and Sonoma State.

She finished with 20 points, 11 rebounds, three steals and two blocks in an 86-66 win over the Cougars on Tuesday, and followed it up with a 23-point, 10-rebound, 3 steals performance on her birthday in a victory against the Seawolves on Saturday. Sampton has scored in double figures in 10 of UC San Diego's last 11 games, and has posted double-digit rebounding performances in four-straight contests to rank fifth in the CCAA in scoring, second in rebounding and fourth in field goal percentage.

The league-leading Tritons are on the road this week, taking on Sonoma State on Friday and San Francisco State on Saturday. Both games are slated for a 5:30 p.m. tip.
