Senior guard Colleen Hart's 19 points and 7.5 rebounds per game last week in two Jumbo victories has earned the women's basketball tri-captain NESCAC Player of the Week honors. Last Tuesday, Hart put up a season-high 23 points to help the Jumbos pull away in the second half over Salem State in a 59-49 win. In Saturday's 70-36 rout of Colby-Sawyer, Hart followed up that performance with her second double-double of the season — 15 points and 11 rebounds.
So far this season, Hart is leading the NESCAC with 17.4 points per game and is eighth in the league with 7.2 rebounds per game — surprising for a guard who averaged 4.3 boards last season. Entering tonight's matchup at Emerson, the senior guard has scored 1,221 points in her career — only 37 shy of the all-time record held by Teresa Allen from 1985-89. Hart has been lighting up the court, particularly from three-point range, where she leads the NESCAC with 14 trifectas and is shooting at a .424 percentage.
Hart shares this week's award with Middlebury junior guard Maddie Moreau.
