SEATTLE -- Senior Kelsey Plum of the University of Washington women's basketball team earned her league-leading sixth Pac-12 Player of the Week honor as announced by the conference Monday (Feb. 27).

This is eighth time in Plum's career that she has earned the honor and sixth this season, which is the most by any player. Washington leads all teams with nine total awards this season.

The nation's leading scorer put on one of the most dazzling performances in women's college basketball over the weekend, pouring in a conference-record 57 points against Utah and becoming the all-time leading scorer in NCAA history.

Plum set a new school and Pac-12 single-game scoring record to lead Washington to an 84-77 regular-season finale win over the Utes.

Plum's 57 points ranks fifth-most in NCAA history and she fell just three points shy of the NCAA single-game scoring record.

Plum, who now has 3,397 career points, went 19-of-28 from the floor, 6-of-11 from three and 13-for-16 from the foul line.

In her final regular season game, Plum also broke the Pac-12 and Washington single-season scoring record, a record in which she set last season. She now has 979 points in her illustrious senior year, surpassing the record of 960.

On Thursday, the Poway, Calif. native led all scorers with 25 points and had a game-high six assists in the win against Colorado. The nation's leading scorer also grabbed five rebounds in the contest.
