IRVING, Texas (January 16, 2017) -- For the first time as a Conference USA member, FIU women's basketball has landed a student-athlete on the league's Player of the Week and Freshman of the Week lists in the same week. Sophomore Kristian Hudson (Birmingham, Alabama) was named Co-Player of the Week and freshman Alexis Gordon (Palm Bay, Florida / Covenant Christian) was named the league's Freshman of the Week, in a vote chosen from a panel representing all 14 member schools.
Hudson hit a 33-foot buzzer-beater to give FIU the 88-87 victory in its first-ever triple-overtime game Thursday against UTEP.
