Fielding selected as Big West Player of the Week

IRVINE, Calif.—Freshman guard Autumn Fielding (Kennewick, Wash.) and senior shooting guard Jess Hansen (Oregon City, Ore.) were selected Big West Conference Women’s Basketball Co-Players of the Week.

Fielding helped the Vandals to their first ever win at Long Beach State as she tied a career high with 24 points. She also led UI in rebounding with 11 to notch her first career double-double. For the week, Fielding averaged 39 minutes, 19.5 points and eight rebounds per game. She shot 54 percent from the field, including 39 percent from 3-point land, and was perfect from the free-throw line (eight of eight).

Hansen led UC Santa Barbara to a 1-1 record in nonconference play last week. The win was at Illinois and the loss was a triple-overtime thriller at No.4 LSU. Hansen scored 14 and 23 points, including a combined 7-of-12 shooting from 3-point range. The 5-foot-8 guard showed courage under fire, making a layup with 0.3 seconds left in regulation to force overtime. After the game went into double overtime, Hansen drilled one of her five 3s to force triple overtime.
