The Pac-12 gives a freshman of the week award in women's basketball, an honor conveyed via a news release with no trophy or certificate. That's just as well. Utah's Dre'Una Edwards probably would lose it.
The Ute forward already has won four weekly awards, contributing to her team’s domination of the honor. Edwards, guard Dru Gylten and forward Andrea Torres have been recognize a combined seven times in 10 weeks, topping the six awards for Ute gymnast MyKayla Skinner in 2017 in a shorter season. With seven weeks remaining in the regular season, Utah easily should top California’s Pac-12 record of eight women’s basketball freshman of the week awards — all won by Kristine Onigwe in 2015-16.
