Sherrod is the only player in the Pac-12 averaging at least 10 points and five rebounds per game this season (11.0 ppg, 5.2 apg).

The weekend started with Sherrod matching her career-high with 27 points in CU's 71-68 come-from-behind win over Washington State. The Buffs trailed by 11 in the third quarter and Sherrod was instrumental in the comeback effort, going a perfect 5-for-5 with 15 points in the fourth quarter.

Sherrod capped off the weekend with a six-assist day in CU's 65-43 win over Washington. She was 3-for-6 from the field with eight points in the decisive victory.

Sherrod currently ranks 29th in the NCAA in both total assists (124) and assists per game (5.2). She starts this week leading the conference with 2.4 steals per game, second in total steals (58) and fifth in assist/turnover ratio (1.94).

The weekly honor is the first for the Buffaloes this season and the second for Sherrod's career. It is just the seventh Player of the Week honor in program history for the Buffs.
