WSU's Romberg Pac-10 Player of the Week

Washington State freshman guard/forward Sage Romberg was named Pac-10 Women's Basketball Player of the Week for the week of Jan. 31-Feb. 7, Commissioner Larry Scott announced Monday. Romberg helped the Cougars to their first weekend sweep in Pac-10 play since January 2001, claiming wins over the Oregon schools.

Romberg, of McKinleyville, Calif., came off the bench in both contests against the Oregon schools and averaged 16.0 points and 6.0 rebounds per game. With the victories, WSU claims five Pac-10 wins so far, the most for the team since the 2000-01 campaign.

For the week, Romberg was 10-for-19 from the field, including 4-for-7 from long range, and was almost perfect from the free throw line, converting on eight of nine attempts.

It is Romberg's first-career Pac-10 Player of the Week honor and Washington State's 12th all-time selection.
