ATLANTA - Junior forward
Prencis Harden earned her second Atlantic Sun Player of the Week honor Tuesday following Kennesaw State's victories over North Florida (Jan. 11) and Jacksonville (Jan. 13) that gave the Owls their best ASUN start in program history at 3-0.
She tallied 31 points and 15 rebounds in the two contests, shooting 41.7% from the floor and 84.6% from the free throw line. 21 of her points came Thursday against North Florida. Also on Harden's weekly stat line were two assists, two blocks and two steals.
This season, she has tallied a career-high three games of 20-or-more points and 11 games of 10-or-more - which she has achieved in nine-consecutive games.
She leads the Atlantic Sun with four double-doubles this season, a category Kennesaw State leads the conference in as a team with six.
Harden's first weekly honor came this season on Dec. 27 after
KSU's comeback upset win over Providence, 53-51.
The Swainsboro, Ga. native becomes the eighth Owl to win the ASUN Player of the Week award on multiple occasions, the fifth to do it in a single season and first since Alexis Poole in 2019-20. The honor is KSU's fifth this season, the most in a single campaign since 2019-20.
The Black and Gold defeated Jacksonville, 59-57, on Saturday to achieve the
first 3-0 start to the ASUN schedule in program history.
Kennesaw State's next contest is on the road in DeLand, Fla. for a 7:00 p.m. tip-off against the Stetson Hatters on Thursday, Jan. 18. KSU returns to the Convocation Center on Saturday, Jan. 27 for Pink Day against Central Arkansas at 2:00 p.m. Fans can purchase ticketsÂ
