Complete list of weekly winners >>>

Chico State’s Jadence Clifton has been selected as the FloCollege/CCAA Women’s Basketball Player of the Week for the week of Feb. 17-23. 

Clifton averaged 18.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 3.5 assists per game while coming up clutch in the final minutes in the Wildcats' road wins over Cal State LA and No. 2 Cal State Dominguez Hills. 

The senior guard from Crescent City, Calif., opened the week by recording a 21-point, 11-rebound double-double over Cal State LA. She scored seven of her 21 points in the fourth quarter, including going 4-for-4 from the free throw line in the final 10 seconds of a one-possession game. 

Against NCAA Division II’s last undefeated team, No. 2 ranked Cal State Dominguez Hills, Clifton hit two of the biggest 3-pointers in her collegiate career. The first came with 1:18 remaining to turn a two-point deficit into a one-point lead (71-70). After CSUDH tied the game, Clifton hit another 3-pointer on the ensuing possession with 47.3 seconds left to put the Wildcats in front for good. It was the Toros’ first loss of the season in 28 games played.

Clifton averages 10.0 points and 4.8 rebounds per game. Her .419 shooting percentage from 3-point range would have her leading the conference if she had enough made 3-pointers to qualify for the leaderboard. Click here to see the CCAA Statistics Leaders.
