LAST WEEK: 27.0 ppg, 10.5 rpg, 7.5 apg, 3.0 spg
Nwajei has been on a scoring binge since the last week of January, and the fabulous freshman has shown no signs of slowing down. Spearheading the Seahawks’ attack in back-to-back wins last week, Nwajei averaged 27.0 points, 10.5 rebounds, 7.5 assists and 3.0 steals per game. The rookie point guard shot 50 percent from the field while playing 79 of 80 possible minutes. Running her streak of 20-plus point performances up to seven straight games, Nwajei poured in a career-high 29 points in the #NECWBB Game of the Week on ESPN3 Monday night. Nearly accounting for a triple-double, the NYC product added 10 rebounds and nine assists in the 67-48 win over Fairleigh Dickinson. Two days earlier, the 5-foot-8 sparkplug scored 25 points, on 11-for-19 shooting, and pulled down 11 rebounds in a nine-point win over Verrazano Bridge rival St. Francis Brooklyn. Nwajei’s 17.8 points per game season average is tops amongst NEC rookies and sixth on the league’s overall leader board.
