LINCOLN UNIVERSITY, PA - In what marks the third time in of four weeks, a Lincoln University women's basketball players have earned weekly accolades from the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association.
Fifth-year senior Bryanna Brown (New York, N.Y./Bishop Loughlin) was named the CIAA Food Lion Player of the Week for the second time this season, while freshman guard Ciani Montgomery (Philadelphia, Pa./West Catholic Prep) earned CIAA Food Lion Rookie of the Week for the second consecutive week.
Brown connected on a career-high 33 points in the victory over Johnson C. Smith and went ahead to average 25.5 points and four rebounds as Lincoln tallied a pair of 20-plus point wins in CIAA action. She nearly hit the 40-50-90 benchmark with 50 percent shooting from the field, 37 percent from three-point range, and 89 percent from the charity stripe.
Montgomery earned the CIAA's top rookie award after averaging eight points, 2.5 rebounds, and 2.5 assists in the two wins. Her best performance came in Saturday's win over the Rams as she finished with 12 points, four rebounds, and four assists.
Lincoln (9-3 overall, 2-0 CIAA), on a five-game winning streak, will have a two-week hiatus before returning to the hardwood 5:30 p.m. January 6 at Fayetteville State.
