CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Gardner-Webb's Margaret Roundtree has been named the Big South Conference Women's Basketball Choice Hotels Player of the Week, while Helen Terry from Charleston Southern was tabbed The Crons Brand Freshman of the Week, the League announced today.
Roundtree, a senior from Durham, N.C., averaged 16.5 points and 9.5 rebounds per game to lead her Lady Bulldogs to a 2-0 record last week, which included a win over Purdue on Dec. 21. Against the Boilermakers, the forward put in 18 points on 40 percent from the floor and 6-of-7 from the line.
