Each week throughout the college season, we’ll check back on the best-performing Australian women in the NCAAW.

1. Charlise Dunn (Davidson) – SENIOR

Best Performance – 18 points, five rebounds and six assists in 35 minutes vs Ball State

Charlise Dunn just continues to torch opponents. Her consistency has been phenomenal, scoring in double figures in every game this season. In a blowout win against Ball State, Dunn did a bit of everything and continues to thrive in a growing playmaking role. Through her first seven games she averaged 1.3 assists; in her past three, she’s lifted that to 5.0 per game.

6. Bonnie Deas (Arkansas) – FRESHMAN

Best Performance – 12 points, 11 rebounds and five assists in 33 minutes vs Jackson State

Deas is a rebounding machine and keeps making waves in the SEC. She averaged 12.5 rebounds this week, and even when the scoring efficiency fluctuates, her impact never does.

GP: 11 │ MIN: 28.9 │ PTS: 12.1 │ FGM: 3.8 │ FGA: 12.0 │ FG%: 31.8 │ 3PM: 1.0 │ 3PA: 3.3 │ 3P%: 30.6 │ FTM: 3.5 │ FTA: 4.7 │ FT%: 73.1 │ REB: 9.9 │ AST: 2.7 │ STL: 1.3 │ BLK: 0.2 │ TO: 2.5 │ PF: 3.1

7. Mia Jacobs (Oregon) – SENIOR

Best Performance – 21 points, six rebounds, three assists and two steals in 35 minutes vs Oregon State

Jacobs’ efficiency remains elite, and earlier in the week she had a standout shooting night to help Oregon dominate their in-state rivals. The Ducks sit at an impressive 10–1.

GP: 11 │ MIN: 26.9 │ PTS: 14.1 │ FGM: 4.4 │ FGA: 8.8 │ FG%: 49.5 │ 3PM: 1.7 │ 3PA: 4.8 │ 3P%: 35.8 │ FTM: 3.6 │ FTA: 4.3 │ FT%: 85.1 │ REB: 5.3 │ AST: 1.6 │ STL: 1.9 │ BLK: 0.4 │ TO: 2.4 │ PF: 1.7

8. Rubi Gray (Sacramento State) – SOPHOMORE

Best Performance – 24 points, four rebounds, three assists and two steals in 38 minutes vs Pacific

Sac State’s lone game this week ended in a loss, but Gray was superb again, putting up 24 points and extending her streak of double-digit scoring to seven games.

GP: 10 │ MIN: 30.8 │ PTS: 14.8 │ FGM: 5.7 │ FGA: 12.1 │ FG%: 47.1 │ 3PM: 1.9 │ 3PA: 6.0 │ 3P%: 31.7 │ FTM: 1.5 │ FTA: 1.8 │ FT%: 83.3 │ REB: 2.7 │ AST: 0.9 │ STL: 1.2 │ BLK: 0.4 │ TO: 1.7 │ PF: 1.9

9. Lulu Twidale (California) – JUNIOR

Best Performance – 20 points (three triples), three rebounds and two assists in 24 minutes vs San José State

California played three games this week and Twidale shone brightest in their bounce-back win over SJSU. She dropped a season-high 20 points and continues to be one of the country’s highest-volume Aussie shooters.

GP: 10 │ MIN: 33.3 │ PTS: 14.8 │ FGM: 4.7 │ FGA: 12.8 │ FG%: 36.5 │ 3PM: 2.2 │ 3PA: 8.6 │ 3P%: 26.0 │ FTM: 3.2 │ FTA: 3.8 │ FT%: 85.3 │ REB: 4.1 │ AST: 3.1 │ STL: 0.7 │ BLK: 0.0 │ TO: 2.7 │ PF: 1.7

10. Sophie Burrows (Syracuse) – JUNIOR

Best Performance – 22 points, six rebounds, five assists and two steals in 38 minutes vs SMU

Burrows enters the top 10 for the first time this season, riding a three-game streak of double-digit scoring. Syracuse sits at 9–1, and Burrows’ two-way play has been a big reason why.

GP: 9 │ MIN: 27.6 │ PTS: 9.0 │ FGM: 3.1 │ FGA: 9.8 │ FG%: 31.8 │ 3PM: 1.0 │ 3PA: 5.0 │ 3P%: 20.0 │ FTM: 1.3 │ FTA: 1.4 │ FT%: 92.3 │ REB: 4.6 │ AST: 2.7 │ STL: 1.7 │ BLK: 0.6 │ TO: 2.1 │ PF: 1.3

Other top performers

Lara Somfai (Stanford) – FRESHMAN

Best Performance – 10 points, six rebounds and two steals in 29 minutes vs Tennessee

A quieter single-game week drops Somfai out of the top 10 for now — but she’s too impactful to stay out for long.

GP: 10 │ MIN: 22.0 │ PTS: 10.7 │ FGM: 4.1 │ FGA: 9.7 │ FG%: 42.3 │ 3PM: 0.7 │ 3PA: 4.0 │ 3P%: 17.5 │ FTM: 1.8 │ FTA: 2.5 │ FT%: 72.0 │ REB: 8.6 │ AST: 0.9 │ STL: 0.7 │ BLK: 0.9 │ TO: 2.2 │ PF: 2.4

Dani Bayes (Boise State) – SENIOR

Best Performance – 20 points, six rebounds and two assists in 39 minutes vs California Baptist

GP: 10 │ MIN: 30.9 │ PTS: 14.2 │ FGM: 4.7 │ FGA: 10.9 │ FG%: 43.1 │ 3PM: 2.2 │ 3PA: 5.1 │ 3P%: 43.5 │ FTM: 3.1 │ FTA: 3.9 │ FT%: 80.0 │ REB: 4.2 │ AST: 3.3 │ STL: 2.7 │ BLK: 0.4 │ TO: 3.0 │ PF: 2.0
