FWIW, Newly minted BE Player of the Week is from St. Johns
BIG EAST Women’s Basketball Player of the Week
Leilani Correa, St. John’s, So., G
Correa averaged an impressive 32.0 points per game in a pair of road games last week, posting game highs in an overtime setback at Villanova on Monday and a win at Georgetown on Wednesday. The St. John’s sophomore guard scored 29 and added five assists against the Wildcats, before matching her career best with 35 points on 11-of-22 shooting against the Hoyas. She added 3.0 assists and 2.0 steals on the week. Correa’s 35-point outing is the most by a BIG EAST player this season, and a feat she has achieved twice this year after racking up 35 at Delaware on Dec. 10. Last week’s performances moved Correa from fourth in the BIG EAST in scoring to second, as she currently averages 20.0 points per game.
