Carruthers was sensational for Saint Francis U last week. Behind 50.0 percent shooting from long range (8-of-16), the rookie guard poured in the points in two games last week, averaging a league-best 23.5 points on a combined 46.9 percent shooting from the field (15-of-32) during that span. After a 12-day hiatus for the Red Flash, Carruthers did not skip a beat in her return to the court on Thursday against Wagner. The Buckeye State native knocked down five triples as part of a 10-of-21 effort from the field that resulted in her netting a career-high 32 points. Behind the strength of her second career 30-point outing, Saint Francis U registered the program’s highest offensive output since the 2020-21 campaign in the 76-70 triumph. Two days later against FDU, Carruthers had another solid outing, as she netted 15 points for her 16th double-figure scoring game of the season. On the year, the first-year guard is averaging 13.9 points per game, which is good for fourth in the league. She has been even more impressive in conference play, ranking fourth with a 15.7 point-per-game scoring average. With this week’s honor, which is her second this month, she is now a five-time NEC Rookie of the Week award winner.
