Honors for Chiney

Chiney was honored twice this week in recognition of her outstanding performances against Utah and Colorado:
  • She was selected by the U.S. Basketball Writers Association as its Ann Meyers Drysdale Women's National Player of the Week

  • She was named the Pac-12 Player of the Week again for the fourth time this season and the seventh time in her career.

Chiney posted her 14th and 15th double-doubles in those games and now ranks third in the nation in that category. She is also ranked sixth in points per game (22.0) and seventh in rebounds per game (12.0) and field-goal percentage (58.6).

Read more about Chiney's accomplishments in this Stanford Athletics article.

Chiney's accomplishments, both at Stanford and with USA Basketball, were recognized by FIBA last week:

"If the third-year NCAA women’s star keeps up the good work, she’ll have every chance of making the USA squad at the 2014 FIBA World Championship for Women in Turkey."
