Bulls earn conference honors
USF saw players from both its men’s and women’s basketball teams honored this week by the AAC, as Geno Thorpe, Kitija Laksa and Tamara Henshaw were all recognized for their performances.
Thorpe was named to the conference’s honor roll after leading the Bulls to their first conference win of the season with a 22 point, eight assist game. The junior guard has led USF in scoring since the departure of former guard Jahmal McMurray.
Two women’s players were honored by the AAC after a 2-0 week for No. 22 USF. Laksa was named the conference player of the week for averaging 27.5 points and four rebounds per game while making 57.9 percent of her shots. The nomination marks Laksa’s third such of the season.
Henshaw was named the AAC’s Freshman of the Week in a week in which she put up 9.5 points and 10 rebounds per game including a double-double against East Carolina.
