WASHINGTON, D.C. – St. Bonaventure University women’s basketball freshman Zoe Shaw earned selection as the Atlantic 10 Rookie of the Week, conference officials announced Monday.
Shaw averaged 15.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game while shooting 93.3 percent (14-for-15) from the free throw line over two games, helping the Bonnies to a comeback victory over Little Three rival Niagara Tuesday night. She finished the week with a 42.1 shooting percent and averaged 37.0 minutes per contest.
Against the Purple Eagles, Shaw was a key part of the Bonnies erasing a 15-point second quarter deficit to rally for the win. She tallied 17 points, five rebounds, three assists, two steals and a block in the victory.
In Saturday’s non-conference finale at Robert Morris, Shaw played a career-high 39 minutes, registering a team-high 14 points to go along with eight rebounds. She finished the contest a perfect 6-for-6 from the free throw line.
A native of Melbourne, Australia, Shaw has started all 11 games this season for the Brown and White, averaging 7.8 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 32.1 minutes per game.
St. Bonaventure has earned back-to-back Atlantic 10 Rookie of the Week honors after Cailtin Frost garnered the accolades Dec. 16.
The Bonnies are set to kickoff Atlantic 10 play Sunday, Dec. 29 at Loyola Chicago.
