WASHINGTON – The Atlantic 10 Conference has named St. Bonaventure senior Dani Haskell its Women's Basketball Player of the Week. George Mason freshman Kennedy Harris was chosen as the league’s Rookie of the Week. The awards were announced Tuesday and are for games played Dec. 25-31.
 
Haskell poured in 27 points on 8-of-15 (.533) shooting, including four threes, while also hitting 7-of-8 (.875) free throws to help the Bonnies to an 84-72 victory in Saturday's conference opener vs. Loyola Chicago. A guard from Franklinville, N.Y., she also pulled down a season-best six rebounds in the victory. Haskell tallied 10 of her 27 points in the first quarter to help the Bonnies build an early lead.
 
Harris was one of three players in double-figures on Saturday as the Patriots opened up A-10 play with a win over La Salle. Off the bench, she scored 11 points in 23+ minutes while also helping to aid a defense that limited the Explorers scoring. A guard from Hampton, Va., was second on the team with 11 points on 4-of-9 (.444) shooting, including a team and game-high three made 3-pointers on just five attempts. She also pulled down a team-high six rebounds, also a career-best.
