Junior
guard Erika Eisenhut (Mohawk, NY) picked up her second Liberty League
“Guard of the Week” award for her performance over the Holiday Recess and in
last week's game at Drew.
In three games Erika averaged 13.0 points, 4.0 assists and
3.0 rebounds. She had 18 points, two rebounds, three assists and two steals in
a 78-72 double overtime loss at 9-3 Drew. Her three-point basket with 2 seconds
left forced the first extra session. For the week she was 14-of -32 from the
field (.438) and five-of-six from the line (.833).
Eisenhut enters Friday's game third in three-point field goals (89), fourth in
steals (170), and tied for fifth in assists (151). She has twice as many assists (26) and steals (25) as any of her
teammates so far this season.
While senior forward Katyln Cunningham
(Clarksburg, MA) was not recognized by the league, she also had a heck of a
week…especially against homestanding Drew, in a 78-72 double overtime
loss. Trailing
by three at the half, 29-26, the Dutchwomen found themselves down by 13, 50-37,
with 11:43 left in regulation. Cunningham, who finished with 22 points
and 11 rebounds, caught fire as she scored 11 of the game's next 13 points to
pull the Dutchwomen back to within four, 52-48, with 7:14 on the clock. She goes into this weekend's games against
circuit rivals Rensselaer and Vassar 10th on both the Dutchwomen's all-time scoring (869) and
rebounding (502) lists.
Senior
guard Melissa Marra (Mechanicville) heads into the weekend third in
career assists (180), fourth in three-point field goals (83), fifth in steals
(159) and 11th in scoring (866).
Cunningham
(11.3), Marra (11.2) and Eisenhut (10.9) lead the Dutchwomen in scoring while
Cunningham (7.3) and sophomore forward Krystal Hammond (Clifton Park, NY)
(5.4) are the Garnet's rebounding leaders…Eisenhut has twice as many assists
(26) and steals (25) as any of her teammates.
