Pearce named Player of the Week

BETHELEHEM, Pa. – For the second straight week the Patriot League’s Player of the Week is from Lehigh. This week Kaela Pearce earned the honor for her performance in the Christmas City Classic. The senior guard averaged 14.5 points and five assists per game and hit 64.7% of her shots over the two games. Her best performance came against Brown, when she recorded new career highs with 20 points, seven assists and seven field goals made.

In that same game, Pearce also tied her career high with three three-point field goals made and set a new season high with three steals. She was named to the all-tournament team for her outstanding play. This is the first time in her career Pearce has received this honor.

Last week Tricia Smith received her first career Player of the Week award for her performance against Sacred Heart and Binghamton.

The Mountain Hawks will return to action on Thursday, when they travel to Yale for a non-conference game. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m., and the game can be heard live on 91.3 WLVR-FM in the Lehigh Valley and around the world on Lehighsports.com, with streaming provided by Yahoo! Sports.
