The junior guard averaged 18.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and 13.0 assists for the week, plus had a 6.5 assist-to-turnover ratio. It is the second career player of the week nod for the applied movement science major.
Booker averaged 18.5 points while shooting 56.7% from the field to help Texas to its best start since the 2015-16 season at 9-0. In the UConn game, the forward who plans to major in mechanical engineering had a season-high 20 points to go along with three rebounds, four assists and two steals. The Ridgeland, Mississippi native went 8-of-9 from the field against Oral Roberts, scoring 17 points in the game to secure her first career weekly honor.
