Wisconsin’s Gulczynski named Big Ten’s Player of the Week

For the first time in four years, the Wisconsin women’s basketball team has a Big Ten Conference Player of the Week.  Sophomore Jacki Gulczynski picks up her first Big Ten weekly honor, sharing the award with Aulani Sinclair of Indiana.

Gulczynski posted back-to-back double-doubles last week, setting career highs in points and rebounds in consecutive games.

Gulczynski started the week off by picking up her first career double-double with 16 points and a game-high 11 rebounds against Florida Atlantic on Dec. 10.

Against Eastern Illinois on Dec. 15, Gulczynski scored Wisconsin’s first 11 points and was a perfect 8-for-8 from the field to start the game.  She finished with career and game-highs of 24 points and 13 rebounds, her second consecutive double-double.

Wisconsin closes out 2012 with a three-game road swing, traveling to Green Bay on Sunday for a 7pm game against the Phoenix before traveling to Miami (Florida) for the Miami Holiday Invitational Dec. 28-29.
