LSU transfer stacks up more honors as season rolls along
LSU’s Aneesah Morrow was named the SEC Player of the Week on Tuesday as well as the AP Player of the Week and she was one of five players on the USBWA Ann Meyers Drysdale National Player of the Week team.
She was named ESPN’s National Player of the Week on Monday. NC State’s River Baldwin, Iowa’s Caitlin Clark, Richmond’s Maggie Doogan and UCLA’s Kiki Rice joined her on the USBWA player of the week list.
Morrow began last week with a 17-point performance against Texas Southern with 7 steals, 4 rebounds and two blocks in the PMAC.
In LSU’s first game at the Cayman Islands Classic against Niagara, Morrow had a double-double with 28 points and 10 rebounds with 5 steals. It was her third time in four games in which she had five or more steals. It was the 14th game of her career with 25+ points, 10+ rebounds, and 5+ steals; no other player has six such games over the past 25 seasons.
