MAAC Player of the Week

SABRA WRICE, FAIRFIELD
Senior, Guard, 5-8, Riverside, NJ/Riverside

Wrice nearly single-handedly gave the Stags a win over ACC foe Boston College as she finished with a team-high 24 points. The Stags trailed by one at halftime, but the Eagles scored the first seven points of the second half to open the largest lead of the game. After a Lauren Groom three-pointer cut the deficit to five, Wrice scored four straight points to get back to within a point. BC pulled away again with a 5-0 run, but Wrice answered again with four straight points. In all, she scored 11 of 13 points and 15 of 21 for the Stags in an 11 minute stretch to keep them in the game. Three of her four assists came in the final minutes, twice giving Fairfield a lead, and the last on the basket that provided the winning margin. Wrice also added two steals and had six rebounds.

MAAC Rookie of the Week

ANDA IVKOVIC, IONA
Freshman, Forward, 6-1, Subotica, Serbia/Oak Hill Academy

In the game, she was a perfect 7-7 from the field and 2-2 at the charity stripe, all in only 14 minutes on the court. She added two timely steals, three rebounds, and one block at Campbell.
