SOUTH ORANGE, N.J. - Seton Hall senior Shelbey Manthorpe (Merion Station, Pa.) was named BIG EAST Offensive Player of the Week on Monday.
The Pirates' setter registered triple-doubles in a pair of Seton Hall victories last week. On Wednesday vs. Providence, Manthorpe had a match-high 28 assists, 11 kills and 11 digs. On Saturday at Villanova, she registered 40 assists, 13 digs and 11 kills. She now has three triple-doubles this season and 25 for her illustrious career. No player in Seton Hall history had recorded a single triple-double prior to her arrival in South Orange.
It's the second straight week that Shelbey has been recognized by the BIG EAST. Last week, she was named to the weekly Honor Roll.
Creighton's Kate Elman was named BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Week, while Marquette's Gabby Benda earned Freshman of the Week honors. Members of the Honor Roll include Butler's Makayla Ferguson, Creighton's Maggie Baumert, Villanova's Allison Fitzgerald and both Autumn Bailey and Lindsey Gosh of Marquette.
Manthorpe and the rest of the Pirates will return to action this Wednesday when they return to Walsh Gym to host local BIG EAST rival St. John's. The match is scheduled for a 7:00 p.m. start.
