Laksa Freshman of the Week for the Third Consecutive Week

 

TAMPA, FEB. 8, 2016  Freshman forward Kitija Laksa (Riga, Latvia) was tabbed the American Athletic Conference Freshman of the Week for the third consecutive week, the league announced Monday. Laksa is only the second student-athlete this season to receive the Freshman of the Week award three times this season. 

 

Laksa averaged 13.0 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game and shot 40 percent from the field and from three-point range in a 1-1 week for the Bulls.

 

Laksa opened the week with 11 points against Cincinnati, in her 16th multi-three-pointer outing of the season.  She was 3-for-11 from the floor and 2-for-5 from behind the arc. In USF’s loss at Temple, Laksa turned in 11 points in the third quarter, en route to a 15-point performance. Laksa shot 54 percent from the field (6-of-11) and 40 percent from long range.

 

Courtney Williams (Folkston, Ga.) lands on the weekly honor roll for the sixth time this season. Williams averaged 25.0 points and 12.5 rebounds per game, collecting her ninth and tenth double-doubles this season. The senior has turned in double-double performances in three of the past four games. Williams shot 62 percent from long range (5-of-8) and connected on 19-of-43 attempts in two games.

 

Williams opened the week with 28 points against Cincinnati and became the second player in program history to hit 2,000 career points. With her performances last week, Williams is on pace to become the first person to reach 2,000 points, 900 rebounds and 300 assists. The leading scorer in The American only needs 47 rebounds to reach 800 and seven assists to grab 300.

 

USF seeks another series sweep Wednesday when it hosts Tulane at 7 p.m. in the Sun Dome. Bulls’ fans are encouraged to wear white for a White Out event and the first 500 fans will receive a free T-shirt. Wednesday’s game will air on The American Digital Network.

Laksa is going to be special and keeps my hopes high for the foundation of the WBB program past this season. CJF has been lights out recently with his international recruiting.

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
