MEDIA RELEASE

Washington State freshman guard Lia Galdeira has been named Pac-12 Conference Freshman of the Week, the conference office announced.

Galdeira scored a game-high 15 points Saturday in WSU’s 62-55 win over No. 20 Ohio State.

The Konawaena graduate also grabbed six rebounds and finished 6-for-6 at free throw line including four that came in the final 20 seconds and sealed the Cougars first victory over a ranked team since beating No. 22 Arizona 93-86 in Pullman, Feb. 20, 2001.

Galdeira has led the Cougars in scoring four times this season highlighted by a WSU freshman-record 33-point performance in the season opener at Minnesota.

The 5-11 guard paces the club in scoring at 15.0 ppg and is second in the Pac-12 in steals with 27.

This is the first player of the week accolade for WSU since Jazmine Perkins earned Pac-12 Player of the Week the first week of conference play last season.
