Iowa center Megan Gustafson has been named the Big Ten Conference Freshman-of-the-Week. Gustafson averaged a double-double with 14 points and 10.7 rebounds per game to guide Iowa to a 2-1 record last week. She shot 56 percent from the field and averaged 3.3 blocks per contest in the three-game stretch.

Gustafson leads Big Ten freshmen with 50 blocks this season, which is the third-highest total among all freshmen in Iowa history. Iowa is 7-9 and visits Penn State on Wednesday night.
