SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO – Freshman Zeryhia-Lee Aokuso has been named the WCC Women's Basketball Freshman of the Week for the opening week of the 2023-24 season, after two double-digit scoring performances in the Gaels' first two games.
Aokuso scored 11 points on 5 of 8 shooting in just eight minutes played in the win over UC San Diego. UCSD would take a two-point lead on a pair of free throws with 30 seconds to go, but the Gaels would go to their "Z factor" in Aokuso late in the game after she ran into foul trouble in the first three quarters.
