Canisius College women's basketball freshman Jen Morabito (Binghamton, N.Y.) was named the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Rookie of the Week on Monday. Morabito is the third Golden Griffin to receive the honor in six weeks this season.

Morabito scored a career-high 24 points on 7-for-10 shooting, including 5-for-8 from behind the arc, in the Golden Griffins' 66-58 win at Cornell on Sunday. The 5-foot-9 guard went the distance in the second half, with her 24 points featuring a four-point play and three-point play while also going 5-for-6 from the free-throw line. Morabito, playing in a career-high 36 minutes, had the most points by a Canisius freshman since Amanda Cavo had 28 in February 2006.

Morabito is the third Golden Griffin to be named MAAC Rookie of the Week this season, with Jamie Ruttle (Dec. 6 and Nov. 29) and Jen Lennox (Nov. 22.). Canisius has three freshmen receive the award in the same season for the first time in program history. It's the sixth time in league history a team has had three freshmen win the award, most recently achieved by Manhattan and Fairfield in 2004-05.

Canisius concludes its four-game road stretch on Tuesday, when the Golden Griffins take on Bowling Green. Game time is set for 7 p.m.
