On Monday, the American Athletic Conference announced their weekly awards and after UConn women’s basketball thrashed both Memphis and Tulane, Megan Walker was named the conference’s freshman of the week.
Walker averaged 11.5 points per game on 46.7 percent shooting, grabbing 3.5 rebounds in an efficient 19.5 minutes per outing. She was also 3-for-3 from beyond the arc.
Saturday’s victory over Tulane saw a very methodical performance from Walker as she scored 13 points on 4-of-6 shooting in just 16 minutes. She was 4-for-5 from the free-throw line as well, registering a rebound and two assists.
