WASHINGTON — The Atlantic 10 Conference has announced its weekly honors in women’s basketball. The awards are for games played from November 2-8.
 
Player of the Week: Tyonna Bailey (Sr., Newark, N.J.), Saint Louis
Rookie of the Week: Tiana Thompson (Fr., New York, N.Y.), La Salle
 
Tyonna Bailey shined in her first two games as a Billiken, putting together a pair of scoring clinics for her new team. The senior opened the season with 29 points, four rebounds, and two assists in an overtime loss to Middle Tennessee, helping keep Saint Louis in the game as multiple players dealt with foul trouble. She followed that performance up with a 25-point showing in the Billikens’ home opener against Milwaukee, adding six rebounds in the 81-62 victory. Bailey not only excelled in volume, but also efficiency, shooting 58.8 percent from the field and 42.9 percent from behind the arc for the week. Saint Louis will take the floor again this Wednesday, facing Eastern Illinois.
 
Tiana Thompson made the most of her collegiate debut this week, averaging 11.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and 2.0 steals per contest in the Explorers’ first two games of the season. The New York City product opened her career with eight points and a team-high eight rebounds in a close loss at Rutgers, recording two steals. She posted a 15-point outing in La Salle’s 69-61 win over Loyola Maryland on Saturday to go with five rebounds and four assists. Showing immense poise in the first moments at the collegiate level, Thompson did not record a turnover in either game. La Salle returns home on Wednesday to face cross-town rival Temple.
