Canisius freshman forward Aubree Hupp was named the Metro Conference women's basketball Rookie of the Week, the conference office announced on Monday.
In the Golden Griffins 2-0 start to the season, Hupp averaged a team-high 9.0 rebounds per game while also adding in 8.5 points and 3.0 steals per contest. The Beaver Falls, Pa. native, shot 5-12 (.412) from the field during the first two games of the campaign while also going a perfect 7-for-7 at the free-throw line.
In Canisius' season-opening victory at New Hampshire on Nov. 5, Hupp corralled a team-high 11 rebounds while also pitching in five points and two steals in 27 minutes of action during her collegiate debut.
Hupp followed that performance with 12 points, seven rebounds and four steals in a 73-61 triumph against UMass Lowell on Sunday. She was a perfect 6-for-6 at the charity stripe in the win against the River Hawks, highlighted by a 4-for-4 effort from the line in the closing minutes to secure the victory.
Canisius (2-0) returns on the road Friday looking for its third consecutive win when it travels to Ithaca, N.Y. to face Cornell. The game between the Griffs and Big Red at Newman Arena is scheduled to tip off at 5 p.m., and the game will be broadcast on ESPN+.
