With the kind of game she had against Texas-Pan American last week, this should come as no surprise: senior forward Ally Wade (Yorba Linda, Calif./El Dorado HS) was tabbed the Big West Women’s Basketball Player of the Week, the conference office announced Monday afternoon.

Wade led The Beach to a convincing 79-56 road win against Texas-Pan American, draining a season-high 22 points, while pulling down seven rebounds. She went 7-of-10 from the field, including a 4-for-7 performance from beyond the arc.

Two days earlier, Wade poured in 16 points and grabbed six boards in 34 minutes at New Mexico State. Against the Aggies, she netted four 3-pointers and was 2-for-2 from the free throw line.

Wade started the week by nearly recording a double-double with nine points and eight rebounds against Loyola Marymount (Nov. 16).

For the week, Wade averaged 15.7 points and 7.0 rebounds per outing, while shooting 50.0 percent from the field.

This is Wade’s first career weekly honor and it is also the first such award for Long Beach State this season.

The 49ers return to action later this week as they head to Florida for the University of Miami Thanksgiving Tournament, Nov. 27-28. LBSU opens the two-day tournament against the host Hurricanes on Friday with tip-off set for 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT.
