Duke's Reigan Richardson is AP women's basketball player of the week
The Associated Press national player of the week in women’s basketball for Week 4 of the season:
Reigan Richardson, Duke
The senior guard scored a career-high 35 points in a win over then-No. 8 Oklahoma to win the Ball Dawgs Classic title. It was the school record for points against a ranked opponent. She also had 16 against Kansas State and 19 in a win over Columbia. Richardson averaged 23.3 pts, 4.0 rebounds and 3.7 assists on the week while shooting 53.8% from the field.
Runner-Up
Sedona Prince, TCU. Became the first player in NCAA history to record 20 rebounds and eight blocks in a game against a top five team in the Horned Frogs' win over then-No. 3 Notre Dame in the Cayman Islands. Throw in the 20 points she had in that game and she's the first to hit that trio of numbers in a contest against a ranked opponent since 1999-2000.
Honorable Mention
Paige Bueckers, UConn; Ta’Niya Latson, Florida State; Aneesah Morrow, LSU.
Keep an eye on
George Mason guard Kennedy Harris averaged 25.5 points last week in a pair of games against then-No. 10 Maryland and Navy. The sophomore had 26 points against the Terrapins and made the all-tournament team. She helped the team to its second-ever 6-0 start before the loss to Maryland. Both have come in the past two seasons.
