Cal Poly Pomona Athletics

Cal Poly Pomona junior Jada Blackwell turned in two impressive performances to start the 2013-14 season. The Broncos went 1-1 in two matchups against No. 18 Simon Fraser on back-to-back nights. Blackwell averaged a double-double this past week with 19.5 points and 13.0 rebounds per game.

The combined total for her points and rebounds was 65, the highest total for a California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) Player of the Week selection over a two-game span since former Bronco Megan Ford collected 48 points and 26 rebounds for a total of 74 over two contests before earning the CCAA weekly honor on Jan. 2, 2012.

On Friday, Blackwell scored 18 points on 9-for-15 shooting to go along with eight rebounds to lead the Broncos to a 66-64 victory. The next night, CPP lost 73-64 but the junior from Rancho Cucamonga still excelled, totaling 21 points and 18 rebounds as that rebound total fell just five boards shy of the school record.
