NEWPORT NEWS, Va. - After recording a double-double in both of Duquesne's games last week, Wumi Agunbiade has been named Atlantic 10 Women's Basketball Rookie of the Week.
Agunbiade averaged a double-double of 14.5 points and 11.0 rebounds for the Dukes - 15 points and 12 rebounds against Richmond on Jan. 19 and 14 points and 10 rebounds at La Salle. She also added a career-high five assists against the Explorers.
