USC's Rayah Marshall Earns First Career Pac-12 Women’s Basketball Player of the Week Award

USC sophomore Rayah Marshall was the driving force for the Trojans in a key Pac-12 road split, now ringing in the new year with her first career selection as the Pac-12 Women's Basketball Player of the Week.

The versatile forward made her mark in the USC history books with the most points scored by a Trojan since 2019 when she pinned up a career-high 33 points in the Trojans' win at Oregon State on Friday. She'd haul in 16 rebounds in that one and keep her blocks streak alive and well with four in USC's victory. It was the just the seventh 30-point and 15-rebound double-double by any player in the NCAA this season and the first such outing by a Trojan since at least 1999-2000. Marshall also accounted for 16 of USC's 18 points in the fourth quarter against the Beavers and had over half USC's total team rebounds in the win.

At No. 17 Oregon on New Year's Day, Marshall continued her blocks streak in stretching her run to 34 straight games with at least one block while also tallying her fifth consecutive double-double with 14 points and 11 rebounds. She's tied for seventh in the nation with her eight double-doubles this season and is No. 1 in the Pac-12 with that total.

This is the first career Pac-12 Player of the Week honor for Marshall and the 51st overall for the Women of Troy all-time.
