#A10WBB Player Power Rankings | 2/2/2015

By Matthew Fidurko (@Durko33Matt)

1. Jonquel Jones (George Washington) – It is hard to believe that Jonquel Jones did not record a double-double this weekend in the Colonials rout of George Mason, however, Jones is still the most dominant player in the conference and added 14 points, seven rebounds, and two blocks against the Patriots.
Early Prediction: Atlantic 10 Player of the Year

2. Andrea Hoover (Dayton) – In the Flyer’s mid-week victory over Richmond, Hoover added a double-double, scoring 20 points and grabbing 11 rebounds. Hoover would also play a team-high 39 minutes and was a perfect seven of seven from the line. In Dayton’s dominant victory this weekend Hoover nearly recorded her second double-double, adding 14 points, nine rebounds, and four assists.

3. Ally Malott (Dayton) – Malott is no longer “Dayton’s second best player,” instead she is just as essential to the Flyers success as Hoover. In Dayton’s mid-week victory, Malott added another Flyer double-double, adding 16 points and 12 rebounds. Over the weekend, Malott had the best scoring night of her career, pouring in 30 points en route to another Flyer victory.

4. Taylor Brown (George Mason) – The Atlantic 10’s leading scorer was back to her usual ways in Mason’s two losses this week. In a close loss to VCU, Brown poured in 23 points while adding five rebounds, six assists, and four steals. Over the weekend in the Patriots blowout loss to GW, Brown added yet another 20 point performance, including shooting 11 of 12 from the free throw line.

5. April Robinson (Duquesne) – The Dukes reeled off two wins this week; first, garnering the programs first win in Olean since 2010 thanks to Robinson’s 20 point performance. Over the weekend, Robinson would have another great game, pouring in 18 points for Dukes, in a huge victory over Fordham.

6. Charise Wilson (Rhode Island) – Rhody had a quiet week this week only playing one game. In the Rams tough loss to Richmond, the freshman sensation Wilson added 14 points in 39 minutes of action.

7. Caira Washington (George Washington) – How a team can win seventeen games in a row, be ranked #24 in the nation, and only have one player on this top 10 this is unreal. Well…all is well as Caira Washington has distinguished herself as a top player in the Atlantic 10. In GW’s rout of George Mason, Washington led the Colonials with 15 points, eight rebounds, two blocks, and two steals.

8. Katie Healy (St. Bonaventure) – The Bonnies were finally able to win a second conference game after falling in seven straight games. In St. Bonaventure’s mid-week loss to Duquesne, Healy poured in 25 points and added five rebounds. In the Bonnies second win over UMASS this season, Healy was quiet, adding only 14 points and six rebounds, however playing 29 minutes, second most on the team.

9. Kim Pierre-Louis (UMass) – The last thing the Minutewoman wanted to do was fall to St. Bonaventure for a second-time this season, but in the home loss Pierre-Louis added 14 points and four rebounds. Pierre-Louis currently ranks third in the conference in scoring at 17.1 points per game.

10. Hannah Early (Davidson) – It has been a rough season so far for the Wildcats, however, Hannah Early has been a bright spot for the Wildcats in their first Atlantic 10 season. In a mid-week loss to Fordham, Early was quiet, only adding 11 points. Over the weekend in another close loss, Early nearly recorded a double-double, totaling 13 points and eight rebounds.
