Aces leading scorer and three-time MVP A’ja Wilson nears another milestone this season as she earns Player of the Week for a 25th time after recording a 30-point, 20-rebound performance against Connecticut.
A’ja Wilson needs six more block to pass Ruth Riley for the No. 9 spot on the league’s all-time block list.
