Syracuse women’s basketball head coach Quentin Hillsman welcomed four new starters into his starting rotation this season. Three of those starters have earned league-wide and some nationwide recognition for their performances, up until today when the fourth and final newcomer earned her due for her productive week.
Orange forward Amaya Finklea-Guity earned ACC Rookie of the Week honors for her performances versus Miami and Pittsburgh. This accolade is the first of any kind in the Dorchester, MA native’s true freshman season.
The 2017 five-star recruit posted an 11-point, 3-rebound, and 3-block showing in the Orange loss at Miami.
