UConn Huskies women’s basketball freshman guard Tiffany Hayes has been selected as the Big East Women’s Freshman of the Week for her performance in last week’s games.
In UConn’s two wins last week, Hayes averaged 18.5 points and 3.5 rebounds per game. She shot 50% (12-of-24) from the field which included 9-of-18 shooting from 3-point range.
In the win over Louisville, Hayes scored a career-high 23 points, making 6 three-pointers as Louisville left her open. In the win over Georgetown on Saturday, Hayes had 14 points and 6 rebounds.
She has scored in double digits the last 3 games and has a total of 9 double figure scoring games on the season. With the injury to her roommate Caroline Doty, she will be counted on the rest of the way as the Huskies look to win their 6th NCAA title.
Maya Moore was named to the Big East Honor Roll as well. In the two wins, Moore averaged 20.5 points and 8 rebounds.
