NEW YORK – Seton Hall's Ja'Kahla Craft (Elk River, Minn.) was named to the BIG EAST Women's Basketball Weekly Honor Roll on Monday.
Â
It's her second career reception of the prestigious weekly conference recognition.
Â
A leading candidate for BIG EAST Most Improved Player, Craft led Seton Hall in both scoring and rebounding last week as the Pirates opened the season with a pair of victories. In the season's first game on Tuesday, she had eight points, five rebounds and three steals in a win over Mercyhurst. On Friday, Craft collected her first career double-double. The junior finished just one point shy of her career-high, putting up 25 points on 8-for-12 shooting, including 4-for-6, from three-point range. Craft also set a career-high with 12 rebounds.
Connecticut's Sarah Strong was named BIG EAST Player of the Week, while Jovana Popovic earned Rookie of the Week honors. Those joining Craft on the Honor Roll include: DePaul's Louis Volker, Georgetown's Destiny Agubata, Marquette's Halle Vice and Xavier's Lucile Jerome.
Â
Seton Hall will return to action on Thursday, Nov. 12 when it hosts non-conference rival Fairfield in historic Walsh Gymnasium. Tip time is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. ET. The game will be streamed live by ESPN+.
