Canisius College freshman Kayla Hoohuli was named the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Rookie of the Week on Monday, receiving the award for the second time this season.

Hoohuli had 15 points and five rebounds in the Griffs' 81-64 win at Kent State on Sunday. The freshman shot 50 percent from the floor, including 3-for-5 on 3-pointers. Hoohuli added a block and a steal as well. In the last four games, Hoohuli has had five or more rebounds three times and is shooting 41 percent from behind the arc during that stretch.

Hoohuli also earned the award on Dec. 5, and is the second women's basketball player, along with Damika Martinez from Iona, in the conference to be win the MAAC Rookie of the Week award twice this season. Hoohuli ranks third among MAAC freshmen in scoring (7.1) and first in 3-point field goals made (12).

Canisius concludes its non-conference schedule with two home games, both doubleheaders with the Golden Griffin men's basketball team in the Koessler Athletic Center. Canisius hosts the University at Albany on Thursday, with tipoff scheduled for 5:15 p.m. Mike Scott will have the audio broadcast on the Golden Griffin Broadcast Network and the game will be shown on tape delay on Time Warner SportsNet.
