SAN MATEO, Calif. — Another strong string of performances and another accolade for Santa Clara University women's basketball freshman guard Tess Heal, as she earned her fifth West Coast Conference Freshman of the Week award Tuesday for the week of Dec. 12-19. She has won all but one award so far this year.
Heal averaged 17.3 points, 4.7 assists, and 3.7 rebounds in three games while shooting 55.6% to help lead Santa Clara to a 2-1 week and a 1-1 start in WCC play. Heal was the Broncos' leading scorer in all three games during the week and was the game-high scorer twice.
