For the fifth time in the 2011-2012 season, freshman forward Leanna Tallamy (Wantage, N.J.) has been named the Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) Women's Basketball Rookie of the Week.
Tallamy continued to lead the Fighting Scots’ charge last week, averaging 18.3 points and 11.7 boards as the Scots went 1-2 in a trio of conference matchups. She finished one rebound shy of collecting three straight double-doubles, recording 13 points and nine rebounds in a 66-47 loss at UNE, 18 points and 14 boards in an impressive 46-43 triumph at Roger Williams, and 24 points and 12 caroms in a 62-57 loss to defending CCC Champion, Salve Regina.
Overall, the freshman phenom is averaging 16.9 points and 9.6 rebounds per game in 13 outings.
The Scots have a full week of CCC games ahead, taking on crosstown rival Endicott College on Tuesday, January 17, Wentworth on Thursday, January 19, and hosting Nichols on Saturday, January 21.
