Jonquel Jones is on a tear the likes of few college basketball players, men or women, at any level.
The George Washington junior forward, and Naismith Player of the Year candidate, was named Atlantic 10 Player of The Week for the sixth time this season, as she led the #24 Colonials to sole possession of first place in the conference. George Washington has now won 16 consecutive games.
Jones averaged 17 points and 16.5 rebounds in wins over Duquesne and La Salle, registering her 12th double-double of the year (and seventh straight double-double) against the Explorers with 12 points and 16 rebounds.
Jackie Kemph of Saint Louis was named Atlantic 10 Rookie of The Year. The guard had a career-high 20 points against La Salle, then had four key assists and three important steals in the Billikens' comeback win over Fordham, handing the Rams their first conference loss.
