Carda Collects Honor Roll Slot
New York, N.Y. -- Fresh off an upset win over #19 DePaul, the Creighton women's basketball squad collected a pair of individual awards as Emma Ronsiek was named the BIG EAST Freshman of the Week and Temi Carda collected a spot on the weekly Honor Roll. Announced on Monday, Feb. 22, this is Ronsiek's second weekly award of the season, both coming after matchups with DePaul.
Ronsiek scored a game-high 27 points off 9-of-12 shooting, including a 3-for-3 clip from three, while grabbing five boards as Creighton upset 19th-ranked DePaul on its home court on Saturday. The rookie was a perfect 6-for-6 from the free-throw line and added two assists and two blocks. In the 2-0 week for the Bluejays, Ronsiek finished as the BIG EAST's top freshman scorer with a 16.5 average. She shot .611 from the field, including .714 from three, as Creighton scored road wins at Georgetown and No. 19 DePaul.
Carda sparked Creighton to a 2-0 week, averaging 15.5 points, 6.5 assists and 4.0 rebounds in road wins at Georgetown and No. 19 DePaul. She was a perfect 11-of-11 from the charity stripe. Her week was highlighted by an 18-point, eight-assist, three-steal, three-rebound outing in the upset of the Blue Demons.
Creighton is back in action later tonight, facing Marquette at 6:00 pm on FS1.
The remainder of the conference's weekly honors are below.
