Ivy League Player of the Week Release
Princeton women's basketball junior forward Niveen Rasheed earned her fourth Ivy League Player of the Week honor of the 2011-12 campaign after helping guide the Tigers to their sixth consecutive victory this past weekend.
Rasheed amassed 31 points, 20 rebounds, seven assists and three steals, in addition to going a perfect 7-for-7 from the free throw line in 47 combined minutes of work versus rivals Cornell and Columbia.
Princeton (13-4 overall, 3-0 Ivy League) dealt the Big Red a 64-36 loss on Jan. 13, and followed it up with a season-high scoring effort in their 94-35 victory over the Lions two days later.
Rasheed, who has been named the Ivy League Player of the Week seven times over her career, is averaging a team-best 16.9 points and 9.1 rebounds per game. She's also tallied 52 assists and 37 steals in 17 starts.
The Tigers currently have a break in play for first semester final exams, before returning to action versus Brown on Feb. 3 and Yale on Feb. 4 at home.
