RICHARDSON, Texas (March 2, 2026) - Senior forward Gabby Elliott continues to headline a historic season in the Lone Star Conference, earning her fifth Offensive Player of the Week award of the year, the most by any player in the conference this season.

Elliott becomes the lone player in the LSC with five offensive weekly honors in 2025-26. Teammate Averee Kleins ties for second most in the league with three Offensive Player of the Week selections.

The senior closed conference play in dominant fashion, recording two double-doubles to give her seven in her last eight games. She averaged 20 points and 14.5 rebounds for the week while leading the Pioneers to their fourth consecutive LSC regular season championship.

On Thursday, Elliott totaled 14 points and grabbed a career-high 19 rebounds, including five on the offensive glass, and added two assists in the title-clinching victory. She followed with 26 points and 10 rebounds in the regular-season finale, shooting 61% from the field. The performance marked her ninth 20-point game of the season.

In addition to her scoring efficiency, Elliott averaged 1.5 blocks during the week and helped anchor a defensive effort that limited opponents to 49.5 points per game on 30.1% shooting from the field.

"Gabby has been incredibly consistent all season, and this past week was another example of how she impacts winning in so many ways," head coach Beth Jillson said. "She's finishing through contact, rebounding at an elite level and playing with tremendous confidence down the stretch. Five Offensive Player of the Week honors in this league is a special accomplishment, and it speaks to the work she puts in every single day."

With five Offensive Player of the Week honors this season and nine career LSC weekly awards, Elliott continues to assemble one of the most decorated individual campaigns in recent conference history.
