SAN MATEO, Calif. – Portland Pilots women's basketball has the first WCC Player of the Week of the 2021-22 season, with forward Lucy Cochrane earning the honor.

Cochrane garnered the recognition after putting together a stellar first week as a Pilot. Through two games, Cochrane is averaging 11 points per game on 55.6% shooting along with 12 rebounds and three blocks per contest. The Pilots had a dominant week as a team, winning both of their games against UC San Diego and Weber State. The beat the Tritons 91-48 – their largest margin of victory in a game since 1996 – and the Wildcats 67-46.

The Australia native shined in both outings for Portland. Against UCSD, Cochrane nearly had a double-double with nine points, 12 boards and two blocks. She eventually earned that double-double against the Wildcats, with 14 points, 12 rebounds and four blocks. Those four blocks were the most by a Pilot since 2018, when Sara Zaragoza posted the same number. Zaragoza was the last Pilot to have more than four blocks in a game, earning six back in 2014.

The Pilots are back in action tomorrow against the defending national champions – the No. 7 Stanford Cardinal. That game is set for a 7 p.m. tipoff and will be aired on the Pac-12 network. Check PortlandPilots.com for links to an online stream as well as live stats.
