IVY LEAGUE RELEASE | HIGHLIGHTS
NEW YORK - For the third time this year, first-year Josie Little has found herself atop the conference polls as she was named the Ivy League Co-Rookie of the Week after a strong performance in the first week of back-to-backs for the Lions. Senior Sara Mead and Camille Zimmerman also made the weekly awards list, picking up a pair of Ivy League Weekly Honor Roll nods for the Lions.
Little made the most of her opportunities on the floor this week, shooting 6-for-12 from the floor while averaging only 23 minutes per game in a pair of tough losses for the Lions. The rookie picked up five points and four rebounds while adding two blocks, an assist and a steal in Friday night's game against Dartmouth before bouncing back with eight points and five rebounds on 4-of-7 shooting against a tough Harvard team on Saturday.
Mead earned a spot on the weekly honor roll after stepping up for the Lions this weekend, posting up 11 points on 4-of-6 shooting from the floor while adding 13 rebounds, seven assists, five blocks and a steal. The senior point guard led the team with an impressive 12 defensive boards in a pair of conference games.
Zimmerman also landed a spot on the weekly honor roll after a strong performance in the opening weekend of back-to-backs, posting up double-figures in both games for the Lions while shooting 68.2 percent (15-of-22) from the field and a perfect 8-for-8 from the line for an average of 19.0 points and 4.5 rebounds per game. The sophomore shot 77.8 percent (7-of-9) from the floor for 16 points and six rebounds in only 22 minutes on Friday night against Dartmouth and bounced back with a team-leading 22 points after shooting 8-of-13 (.615) from the floor against Harvard on Saturday.
The award marks the third time this season that Little earned a spot on the Rookie of the Week list, all coming within the last month of action after earning the top nod on Jan. 4 and Jan. 18. This marks the second weekly honor roll spot this year for Mead while Zimmerman earns her fifth honor roll selection and seventh pick to the weekly awards after a pair of Player of the Week accolades on Nov. 23 and Dec. 21.
