One week into her college career, Ajša Sivka already has two major honors.

The Kentucky guard was named a USBWA National Player of the Week and SEC Player of the Week on Tuesday, UK Athletics announced, the first weekly honors from either group this season.

Sivka scored 32 points with eight 3-pointers in Sunday's 93-78 win over then-No. 25 NC State, tying Rhyne Howard's school record. Through three wins she leads Kentucky at 18.3 points per game with 14 assists, and her 11 3s lead the SEC.

No. 12/10 Kentucky hosts Evansville on Wednesday at 6:30 PM ET.

Per Kentucky Women's Basketball's post on X and the UK Athletics release.

How good can Sivka be this season, BBN?
