Western Oklahoma State College sophomore Tahzia Watson has been named the NJCAA Region 2 Women's Basketball Player of the Week for Week 12, marking her second time to earn the honor this season and the fifth overall selection for the Lady Pioneers during the 2025–26 campaign.
Watson delivered another standout week on the court, leading Western with her scoring ability, defensive presence, and leadership in key conference matchups. Her consistent performance continues to be a driving force behind the Lady Pioneers' success as the team pushes through the conference schedule.
Earning the recognition twice in one season highlights Watson's impact as one of the top performers in Region 2 and reflects the continued strength of Western's women's basketball program. The honor also marks the fifth time this year a Lady Pioneer has received Region 2 Player of the Week recognition, showcasing the depth and talent of the roster.
Watson and the Lady Pioneers will look to carry that momentum forward as they continue conference play in the coming weeks.
