Javyn Nicholson, a freshman forward on the Georgia Lady Bulldog basketball team, has been tabbed the Southeastern Conference Freshman of the Week, the league office announced Monday.
Nicholson has posted back-to-back double-doubles this season, becoming the first Georgia rookie to do so since National Freshman of the Year Tasha Humphrey accomplished the feat during the 2004-05 campaign.
The Lawrenceville, Ga., native and Collins Hill High School product is coming off a 10-point, 10-rebound performance in the win against East Carolina this past Sunday. She totaled 22 points and 10 boards against Gardner-Webb on Dec. 22.
“When Javyn plays well, she has the ability to make our team so much better,” head coach Joni Taylor said.
