Iowa’s Olsen shares B1G weekly honor

Lucy Olsen

IOWA CITY — University of Iowa senior guard Lucy Olsen was named Big Ten women’s basketball’s Co-Player of the Week, the conference office announced Monday.

Olsen was instrumental in Iowa’s upset over No. 4 USC on Sunday. She led the Hawkeyes with a game-high 28 points, shooting 10-of-18 from the floor while also going 8-of-9 from the free-throw line. Olsen’s 28-point performance was her best as a Hawkeye and it was also her sixth 20-point output of the season, which is also a team-high.

In the second half against the Trojans, Olsen registered 23 of her 28 points, including 15 in the fourth quarter. She was 8-of-11 from the field and 7-of-7 from the free-throw line over the final 20 minutes.

Earlier in the week against Northwestern, Olsen tallied 16 points, six assists and five rebounds. She has 13 career games of at least 10 points, 5 assists and 5 rebounds.

Olsen and the Hawkeyes are set to travel to Minnesota on Thursday. Tip-off is set for 7 p.m. inside Williams Arena and the game will broadcast on BTN.

Starting at $4.38/week.
