Cal Poly Pomona’s Sydney Nelson has been selected as the FloCollege/CCAA Women’s Basketball Player of the Week for the week of Dec. 28-Jan. 3.

Nelson averaged 26.5 points and 3.5 assists per game to help lead the No. 14-ranked Broncos to a pair of road wins. She shot .632 percent from the field, hitting 24-of-38 shots, all from within the arc. Her 24 field goals were eight more than anyone else over the weekend. The junior forward also added six rebounds and four steals. 

The Eastvale, Calif., native opened the week by scoring a CCAA season-best 31 points in a 76-61 win over SF State. Nelson went 13-of-19 from the field and 5-of-6 at the free throw line to register her second 30-point performance of the season. The 13 made field goals also matched her CCAA-leading performance from earlier in the year. She added four assists and three steals. Nelson followed up by scoring 22 points on 11-of-19 shooting in a 77-61 win at Cal State East Bay. 

Nelson now leads the CCAA in scoring with 19.0 points per game, which is over two points per game more than second place. She also ranks third in field goal percentage (.515), fourth in steals (2.33), and seventh in blocks (0.82). Click here to see the list of CCAA Stat Leaders.
