Sophomore forward Whitney Jones (San Clemente, CA/San Clemente HS) of the UCLA Women's Basketball Team was selected as the UCLABruins.com Student-Athlete of the Week for the week of Dec. 24-30.
Jones led UCLA to its first Pac-10 road victory since March 11, 2000, scoring a team-best 13 points in the Bruins' 64-48 win at Cal on Dec. 30. She shot 3-6 from three-point range and 4-5 from the free throw line. In addition, she grabbed four rebounds and had one steal and one assist in 35 minutes of play. Jones' defensive play helped the Bruins force an opponent season-high 33 turnovers and hold the Golden Bears to 48 points, the lowest scoring output by an opponent since holding Arizona State to 47 in Feb. of 2000.
This is Jones' first career UCLABruins.com Student-Athlete of the Week honor.
