Senior Brandi Davis led the Oregon women’s basketball team to two victories last week in its final homestand of the season at McArthur Court. As a result, she earned her second Pacific-10 Conference Player of the Week honor.
The Ducks (18-7 overall, 11-5 Pac-10) claimed sole possession of second place in the conference over the weekend, a half-game in front of Southern California (17-9, 11-6).
Davis, a native of La Habra, Calif., was the leading scorer for Oregon against Arizona State and Arizona.
The 6-foot Davis supplied 16 points against the Sun Devils on 6-of-11 shooting last Thursday. She then took advantage of the Wildcats and made 7 of 15 field goal attempts for 19 points. She finished the weekend shooting 13 of 26 from the field and converting 7 of 18 from three-point range, while averaging 31 minutes per game.
Davis is averaging 15.4 points per game over the last seven games. She has started five consecutive games — her only starts of the season.
If Davis graduates this June, she would still have another year of athletic eligibility available. She has yet to announce a decision.
Davis is only the fourth Oregon player to receive at least two Pac-10 Player of the Week honors and the first since Arianne Boyer was recognized twice in 1997.
