Tierra Huntsman Earns Big South Player of the Week Honors For Second Straight Week
December 18, 2017 | Women's Basketball
CHARLOTTE, N.C. – The Big South Conference has selected Tierra Huntsman as its women's basketball Player of the Week for games played December 11-17, the second straight week she has earned league accolades.
Â
Huntsman (Connersville, Ind. / Connersville HS) helped lead the Runnin' Bulldogs to a pair of victories this past week, averaging team-bests with 22.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 4.0 steals.
Â
Friday afternoon at Davidson, Huntsman scored 23 points on 5-of-14 shooting to lead GWU to a 70-65 victory. The redshirt-senior guard added seven rebounds and tied her career high with six steals in 38 minutes of play. Her 11-of-15 performance at the free throw line helped seal the win, as she was 8-of-8 at the charity stripe in the final minute of play.
Â
Huntsman also achieved a key career milestone at Davidson, as she became the 22nd player in program history to score 1,000 or more points.
Â
Sunday at Mount St. Mary's, Huntsman tallied 22 points on an 8-of-14 performance from the floor, including 4-of-5 from long distance in GWU's 75-67 win over the Mountaineers. She also grabbed six boards, dished out three assists, and had two steals in 37 minutes of action.
Â
Gardner-Webb (8-2) returns to action on Wednesday, December 28 at 7:00 pm, hosting Western Carolina. The game will be broadcast live on the Big South Network (www.bigsouthsports.com).
