Kayla is Pac-10 Player of the Week

Kayla earned her second Pac-10 Player of the Week award for helping the Cardinal to impressive wins over Duke and Tennessee.

Kayla was the Cardinal's top scorer in both games, as she was in four previous games this season. She averages 19.1 points per game, which is second-best in the Pac-10 (she and Nneka are taking turns at the top spot).

There's far more to Kayla than her shooting skill. After the Tennessee game, Pat Summit said, "She makes a big difference. She can play off the bounce; she can get to the paint; she's got good passing skills; she's a scorer — she's just a great utility player, 'cause she's just got so much."

Kayla played all but four minutes of those two games. After the Tennessee game, Tara said, "I'm not taking her out unless she comes over and asks me to ... and then I'll probably argue with her."

Congratulations, Kayla ... and Thanks!!
