Following her outstanding efforts and helping Texas to a pair of top-25 victories, Texas' Shaylee Gonzales has been selected as Ann Meyers Drysdale Women's National Player of the Week by the USBWA.
 
Gonzales, a 5-10 graduate guard transfer from BYU and native of Gilbert, Ariz., averaged 18.5 points per game, shooting 16-for-24 from the field, including 5-of-10 from deep, in helping the Longhorns defeat two ranked teams in Big 12 competition in the Longhorns’ new Moody Center.
