PRINCETON, N.J. – Following her career performance on Saturday, Columbia sophomore Riley Weiss has been named Ivy League Women's Basketball Player of the Week. The league office announced its weekly selections Monday afternoon.

A day later, Weiss was also named the Met Basketball Writers Association (MBWA) Women's Div. I Player of the Week. The designation, for games played January 20-26, is unique in that in encompasses players from 21 Met-area Division I schools (Army West Point, Columbia, Fairfield, FDU, Fordham, Hofstra, Iona, LIU, Manhattan, Marist, Monmouth, NJIT, Princeton, Rider, Rutgers, Sacred Heart, St. John's, Saint Peter's, Seton Hall, Stony Brook and Wagner).
 
Weiss matched a career-high with 25 points to lead Columbia (14-4, 5-0 Ivy) in a 79-54 rout over Penn on Saturday at Levien Gymnasium. A local product from Hewlett, Weiss went 8-of-11 from the floor, including 6-of-9 from three-point range. Her six makes from deep were a new career-high. She also matched another career-high with four assists, adding three rebounds and two steals to her final tally.
 
Weiss ranks No. 6 in the NCAA in three-pointers made per game this season (3.11). She is also No. 15 in the country in total three-point makes (56). The second-year guard is the Ivy League leader in both categories, as well as three-point field goal percentage (.371). Her 17.2 points per game lead the Lions and rank No. 3 in the Ivy League.
 
Saturday's victory kept Columbia alone atop the Ivy League standings. The Lions have won seven straight overall and extended their home winning streak to 19 straight games dating back to last season.
 
Cecelia Collins was named to this week's Ivy League Honor Roll. The senior from Scranton, Pennsylvania had 19 points, 10 rebounds and five assists against the Quakers to record her first double-double of the season.
 
Columbia now prepares for an Ivy League back-to-back on Friday and Saturday at Harvard (15-2, 4-1 Ivy) and Dartmouth (8-10, 2-3 Ivy). The weekend begins against Harvard on Friday night at 7 p.m. That game will be televised nationally on ESPNU.
