Kailyn Gilbert named Pac-12 Freshman of the Week

Arizona women’s basketball took home its first weekly award of the conference season when the media voted Wildcat guard Kailyn Gilbert Pac-12 Freshman of the Week. It was the first freshman of the week honor for an Arizona player since Cate Reese received the last of her three awards on Jan. 28, 2019.

Gilbert helped the short-handed Wildcats win two games at the Dana on Mission Bay Thanksgiving Classic. She averaged 17.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists, and 1.5 steals. She shot 52.2 percent from the field and 50 percent from beyond the arc.
