After a weekend in which she posted back-to-back double-doubles while averaging more than 20 points per game, Cal State San Marcos' Jordan Vasquez has been selected as the D2CIDA Women's Basketball National Player of the Week for the week of Jan. 31-Feb. 6.
Vasquez was a dominant force for the Cougars all weekend, allowing CSUSM to stay atop of the conference standings with 11 consecutive wins. Vasquez averaged 21 points and 11 rebounds per game with a pair of double-doubles, including a 20-point, 12-rebound performance in No. 20 CSUSM's win over No. 16 Cal State East Bay.
Against the Pioneers, Vasquez shot 75 percent from the field, going 9 for 12 for her 20-point game in just 23 minutes of play. She grabbed 12 boards and recorded two assists in the contest.
Two nights later, at Cal State Dominguez Hills, the sophomore forward from Moreno Valley scored 22 points on 10 of 16 shooting and pulled 10 boards for her sixth double-double of the season. Vasquez also dished six assists and made a pair of free throws.
Vasquez continues to lead the CCAA with a .571 field goal percentage for the season. She's also top 10 in scoring (8th, 14.1 ppg) and rebounding (6th, 8.1 rpg).
She is the first CCAA women's basketball student-athlete to earn national player of the week honors this season.
Cal State San Marcos, 15-2 overall and 13-1 in CCAA, improved to 9-0 on the road this season. The Cougars are home for four straight games, starting Thursday against Cal State San Bernardino.
