Brito, Mendjiadeu take home weekly honors
USF women’s basketball has started its season strong, and two Bulls were rewarded for their contributions Monday.
Senior forward Dulcy Fankam Mendjiadeu and freshman wing Carla Brito were recognized for their outstanding play while propelling the Bulls to a 3-0 record over the first week of the season.
Mendjiadeu was a preseason all-AAC pick and has made good on that selection, averaging 21 points and nine rebounds over the Bulls’ first three contests. On Monday, the forward put up 25 points and 14 rebounds in a win over Jacksonville. Monday she was announced as the conference player of the week.
