MEMPHIS, Tenn.- Following outstanding performances against Nicholls early last week, Makaiya Brooks has been named as the American Athletic Conference's Freshman of the Week while Jamirah Shutes has been named to the Honor Roll, the conference released Monday afternoon.
Brooks, a freshman out of Springfield, Mo., had a career day against the Colonels where she went 4-4 from three-point range to help lift the Tigers to their ninth win of the season. Her 12 points would tie a team-high for the game and move Memphis to 5-0 inside the Fieldhouse for the season.
