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
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.
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.
