Junior guard Katie Smith was named the Upstate Collegiate Athletic Association's “Guard of the Week” after helping the Dutchwomen defeat William Smith and Hamilton last weekend. Smith averaged 17.5 points, 5.5 rebounds and 4.5 assists in the two games and helped spark a game-opening 18-4 run against the Herons by scoring 10 points with two assists. She had 17 points, five rebounds, two assists and two steals against Hamilton and had 18 points with four rebounds and six assists against William Smith.
Smith, whose 24 points on Tuesday against Skidmore gives her 990 for her career, will become just the fifth player to be included in the 1,000-point club. Smith, who had 380 points as a freshman and 315 points last year, has 295 so far this season, could finish as high as third by the time her career is over next season. Robin Romer, Class of '92, leads the list with 1,738 followed by Andrea Pagnozzi, Class of '94, with 1,324, Leah Oliveiri, Class of '99, with 1,111, and Amy Hitz, Class of 97, with 1,088.
Smith, who is also a three-year starter for the women's soccer team, will enter her final year second on the all-time scoring list with 84 points (on 35 goals and 14 assists).
