Players Of The Week Announced

Two seniors share Co-Players of The Week honors, while surging Duquesne enjoyed a second winner over Thanksgiving Week.

Duquesne senior April Robinson and George Washington senior Jonquel Jones share the Player of The Week award. Robinson averaged over 18 points and nearly nine rebounds in three victories while being named Most Valuable Player at the New Mexico Thanksgiving Tournament. The Dukes improved to 5-1 as Robinson moved into third place on the all-time program list in three-pointers (185) and assist (408).

Jones helped the Colonials to three wins in a tough four-game stretch, scoring 23 points and grabbing a school-record 26 rebounds in an 81-77 double overtime victory over the Iowa Hawkeyes. Jones' 26 boards are the most in all of women's basketball so far this season, and the second-highest total ever in Atlantic 10 history. At the Lone Star Showcase, Jones averaged 20 points and 19.3 rebounds per game.

Kadri-Ann Lass earned her second straight Rookie of The Week honor, averaging 14.7 points and eight rebounds per game for Duquesne over their three wins on the week, including a career-high 25 points (on 11-of-16 shooting) in their win over Howard. Lass was named to the New Mexico Thanksgiving All-Tournament Team.

Included on the Weekly Honor Roll:

--Richmond guard (and Monacan High School graduate) Micaela Parson, who registered a career-high 20 points in a win over Wichita State, followed by 18 points against Marquette in Miami.

--Saint Louis' Jackie Kemph, who shot 61 percent from the field, 83 percent at the line, in two wins this week to put the Billikens at 5-0 for the first time in nine years.

--VCU's Camille Calhoun, who averaged ten points, 7.5 rebounds per game in home wins over Campbell and Furman.

--Dayton guard Amber Deane, who scored a career-high 29 points in Sunday's victory over #22 Louisville.
