WASHINGTON -- The Atlantic 10 Conference has named Rhode Island senior Harsimran "Honey" Kaur as its Women’s Basketball Player of the Week. Davidson freshman Candice Lienafa was chosen as the league’s Rookie of the Week, her second of the year. The awards were announced Monday and are for games played December 29.
Kaur led the Rams to their A-10 opener Sunday, scoring a career-best 27 points. The center shot the lights out from three, connecting on 5-of-7 from deep. The Punjab, India native added 10 rebounds for her fourth double-double of the season and second in as many games. Kaur helped lead Rhode Island to a resounding 83-63 win over Saint Louis.
Lienafa helped pace the Wildcats to a 76-70 win over Duquesne Sunday afternoon to open A-10 competition. The Quebec, Canada native scored 12 points off the bench for Davidson on a 5-of-8 shooting performance, while collecting six rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block in 20 minutes of action. This is Lienafa's second Rookie of the Week honor of the year, also winning on November 18.
