Syracuse women’s basketball’s Mangakahia named Naismith Player of the Week

Less than 24 hours after being named the ACC Player of the Week for the second time this season, Syracuse Orange women’s basketball point guard Tiana Mangakahia continues to clean up on weekly awards.

Mangakahia was named the Naismith Player of the Week on Tuesday, according to a press release. The Naismith Trophy is awarded to College Basketball’s top performer at the end of each season, and it sounds like Mangakahia’s 44 points versus Georgia Tech last Thursday boosted her name up the list.

Tiana has been a star for the Orange this season.
