INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – Kennedie Montue was voted Horizon League Freshman of the Week, as the Horizon League announced its women's basketball weekly awards Monday afternoon.
Montue, who saw just five total minutes of action prior to Thursday's 13-point win over Milwaukee, exemplified the "next man up mentality." The freshman from Pittsburgh, Pa. scored nine points and grabbed four rebounds in 18 minutes.
The 5'11" guard hit 2-4 threes as well, providing quick offense in a defensive battle. In a first half where Oakland outscored Milwaukee 33-19, Montue was the second-leading scorer with seven points. The Golden Grizzlies held Milwaukee to 53 points and forced 24 turnovers in their best defensive performance of the season, improving Oakland's record to 3-2 in the Horizon League.
