Virginia Tech's Vanessa Panousis is espnW's player of the week

Editor's note: Charlie Creme, Graham Hays, Michelle Smith and Mechelle Voepel each vote to determine espnW's national player of the week, which is awarded every week of the women's college basketball season.

Virginia Tech's Vanessa Panousis proved it's not necessarily how many points you score, but when you score them that's truly important.

Thanks to the guard's fourth-quarter work, the Hokies won a pair of road games -- 64-59 at Penn State on Thursday and then a 57-43 stunner over eighth-ranked Tennessee on Sunday in Knoxville. Panousis, a 5-foot-7 junior, is the espnW Player of the Week.
