For the ninth time of her career, UNLV senior All-America candidate Constance Jinks was named Mountain West Conference Player of the Week by the league office Monday.

The 5-foot-7 guard from Chicago scored 29 of her career-high-tying 40 points in the first half alone in an 81-45 blowout of Air Force on March 1. She shot 76 percent from the field (16-21) and knocked down four three-pointers versus the Falcons. Jinks also scored a game-high 20 points in a 68-45 win over league rival New Mexico on Feb. 28 to give UNLV the weekend sweep.
