2/19/2024 10:00:00 AM | Women's Basketball
She's the first to win back-to-back BIG EAST Freshman of the Week awards since Debbie Hartnett in 1986.
NEW YORK – Seton Hall's Savannah Catalon (Burleson, Texas) was named BIG EAST Women's Basketball Freshman of the Week on Monday for a second consecutive week.
Â
Catalon is the first Seton Hall player to be named BIG EAST Freshman of the Week in back-to-back weeks since Pirates' Hall of Famer Debbie Hartnett in 1986.
Â
Catalon continues to get better and better as her remarkable freshman season continues. Last week in a pair of BIG EAST games, she led Seton Hall with 16.5 points per contest. At St. John's on Tuesday, Catalon had a team-high 12 points on the strength of 2-for-3 shooting from three-point range. On Saturday against DePaul, she made her first collegiate start and matched her career high with 21 points. She was a perfect 11-for-11 from the free-throw line and pulled down a career-high seven rebounds. Her 11-for-11 is only the third perfect shooting performance from the free-throw line in Seton Hall history with at least 10 attempts. It's the best performance in a BIG EAST regular season game by a freshman since Rebecca Lobo went 13-for-13 in 1992.
Â
Connecticut's Aaliyah Edwards was named BIG EAST Player of the Week.
Â
Seton Hall will return to action on Tuesday, Feb. 20 when it makes the trip to Milwaukee for a BIG EAST contest at Marquette. Tip time is scheduled for 8:00 p.m. ET. The game will be streamed live by the BIG EAST Digital Network and available for FloHoops subscribers. Ryan Henry and Michael Stamm will carry the broadcast for WSOU FM or wsou.net.
