DAVIS, Calif. — Following an historic Thursday night matchup, UC Davis women's basketball's Megan Norris has been awarded the Big West Player of the Week award on Monday, Feb. 16.

This achievement is Norris' third of the season and the fourth of her career.

In a home matchup with league-leading UC San Diego last Thursday, Norris was a witness to history during the Aggies first triple overtime contest in program history with an 88-80 victory. 

During the game, she also set a pair of rebounding records with the most boards in a single-season in school history (302) while also setting the single-game record for rebounds for both the Aggies and the Big West (29). Her 29 boards are also the second most by a player in a single-game in Division I basketball this season.

Following Thursday's performance, she posted a 16 point, 14 rebound double-double against Long Beach State on Saturday, extending her league-lead with her 17th double-double, also tied for second most in the nation.

It'll be the Aggies annual Play4Kay game in support of breast cancer awareness. Tipoff is scheduled for 6:00 p.m. PT and will live stream on ESPN+ and KDVS 90.3.
