NORMAN, Okla. -- Oklahoma's DaShawn Harden was named the season's first Big 12 Women's Basketball Freshman of the Week, chosen by a media voting panel for games from Nov. 11-14.

Harden scored 15 points in 22 minutes as the Sooners set a team record for most points scored in a half (69) in its 117-55 victory against Sacramento State Sunday, Nov. 13. The rookie guard was OU's third-leading scorer in her collegiate debut, trailing preseason All-Big 12 honorable mention selections Aaryn Ellenberg (28) and Whitney Hand (18).

Harden had a game-high six steals and connected on 50 percent (6-of-12) of her shots as she broke through the Hornets' full-court pressure defense. The Olathe, Kan., native was also 3-of-4 from the free-throw line and added two assists and two rebounds as OU's backup point guard.

Missouri's Christine Flores was named the player of the week after averaging 23 points and 10 rebounds in road wins at UT-San Antonio (70-50) and TAMU-Corpus Christi (75-58).

Through the first four days of the season, no Division I team has topped the 117 points Oklahoma scored in its season opener. The Sooners next play at "The Pit" against the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque on Saturday, Nov. 19, at 3 p.m. Central.
