WACO, Texas – Helping the Baylor women’s basketball team pick up two more wins, including a top-25 win against Miami in San Antonio, has earned senior guard Sarah Andrews ESPN National Player of the Week honors.



The recognition is the third-career national weekly award given to Andrews as the Irving, Texas, native picked up ESPN National Player of the Week and Naismith Trophy National Player of the Week honors last season after guiding the Bears to a pair of top-25 wins on the road.



Andrews helped the Bears improve to 9-0, their best start since the 2015-16 season, with wins over Delaware State and No. 24 Miami last week. The guard averaged a team-best 15.0 points per game, shooting 40% (6-15) from 3-point range, while adding 10 assists and six steals.



In the win over the Hornets, Andrews matched a career high with five steals and recorded her sixth double-digit performance of the season with 12 points. In Baylor’s second top-25 win of the season on Saturday, Andrews led the way for the Bears with 18 points against the Canes, going 4-for-7 from 3-point range. She added a team-high six assists and grabbed three rebounds in the outing.



In this week’s ESPN women’s college basketball Power Rankings, the Bears checked in at No. 10 and remain steady at No. 10 in the AP Top 25 Poll. The updated USA Today/WBCA Top 25 Poll will be released on Tuesday afternoon.



Andrews and the Bears return to action and wrap up the non-conference portion of their schedule this week when they travel to West Palm Beach, Florida, for the West Palm Beach Classic. Baylor is set to take on Providence (Wednesday) and South Florida (Thursday) at 2:30 p.m. CT each day.
