WASHINGTON - Georgetown University women’s basketball senior forward Cynthia Petke (Yaounde, Cameroon/-/Chipola College) was named the BIG EAST Player of the Week on Monday after leading the Hoyas to a 1-1 week.
Petke was the league’s top scorer and No. 5 rebounder last week, averaging 25.0 points, off .541 shooting, and 9.5 rebounds. The senior’s week was highlighted by a 26-point, 13-rebound, three-steal outing in Friday’s 85-58 win over Marquette who was previously unbeaten in league play. She added a game-high 24 points against DePaul on Sunday in a 78-62 loss, along with six boards and three steals.
