weJanel McCarville was named the Big Ten Player of the Week on Dec. 1, for her performances in Golden Gopher victories last week over Drake, Texas A&M and Southern California. The 6-2 junior center averaged 22.0 points and 9.0 rebounds in that three-game span. She opened the week with her second double-double of the season with 22 points and 13 rebounds against Drake. Then, en route to earning all-tournament honors in the Junkanoo Jam, McCarville was unstoppable in the paint converting 17 of her 20 field goal attempts in scoring 17 versus Texas A&M and a career-high 27 in the championship game against USC.

The honor is the second of McCarville's career.

Minnesota (5-0), which jumped to No. 9 in the Associated Press National Poll released today, plays host to Creighton on Thursday. The ranking matches the highest AP ranking in school history. The Gophers were ranked No. 9 on Jan. 6, 2003.
