Pryor did not skip a beat in her NEC debut last week as she scored in double figures twice to lead Sacred Heart to a perfect 2-0 start in league play. The now six-time NEC Rookie of the Week honoree did a little bit of everything for the Pioneers in that stretch, averaging 18.0 points, 8.5 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 5.0 steals and 1.5 blocks per contest. Pryor was sensational in her first-ever league game, a 63-53 victory over LIU on Friday. Coming one rebound shy of registering her third career double-double, the Baltimore, MD native scored 14 points and had seven steals to match her own NEC’s best single-game mark that she set earlier this season against La Salle (Nov. 10). Two days later, Pryor eclipsed the 20-point plateau for the for the sixth time this season after she netted a game-high 22 points in Sacred Heart’s come-from-behind against Stonehill. Shooting 63.6 percent from the field (7-of-11) and 72.7 percent from the free throw line (8-of-11), Pryor stuffed the stat sheet in the 70-56 win, adding eight rebounds, three steals, two blocks and a career-high seven assists. She enters the week as the NEC’s leader in scoring (17.0 ppg), field goal percentage (44.2 percent) and steals (4.2 spg), and is ranked in the top-five in rebounding (6.8 rpg), free-throw percentage (69.6 percent), assists (3.3 apg), assist-to-turnover ratio (1.4) and minutes (3.6 mpg).
