HFU's
Skyler Searfoss (Jim Thorpe, Pa./Jim Thorpe Area) has won her third Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) Women's Basketball Rookie of the Week award for her performances in two victories that extended the Tigers' win streak to eight.
That is now four weekly league honors this season for the freshman, who in addition to previously being named Rookie of the Week on
Nov. 28 and
Dec. 20 was also selected as the CACC Defensive Player of the Week on
Jan. 9.
Searfoss averaged 11.0 points, 6.0 rebounds and 4.0 assists, while turning it over just once in 65 minutes, against Saint Anselm and Post. She shot 6-of-12 from the floor and made all 10 of her free throw attempts.
The Jim Thorpe, Pa. native first led all players with five assists, adding 12 points on 4-of-6 field goals, in Tuesday's non-conference finale versus the Hawks.
Searfoss then recorded her first career double-double with 10 points (6-of-6 foul shots) and game-highs of a season-best 11 rebounds and three steals in Saturday's victory over the Eagles.
