McNeal Named Patriot League Player of the Week

McNeal received her first career weekly honor after shining against American, the Patriot League's top team, scoring a career and game-high 28 points on 11-of-21 (52%) shooting. The 28 points was the most scored by a Cadet in a game since Feb. 4, 2017 and was the second 20-point performance in her career. The firstie guard also corralled a season-best nine rebounds and dished out six assists. The Spotsylvania, Va., native has reached double-figure scoring in each of her previous three outings, while shooting the ball at a 48-percent clip. On the season, she is averaging 8.1 points, 4.3 boards and a team-best 2.9 assists per contest. McNeal and the Black Knights return to the court on Wednesday night when they welcome Lafayette to Christl Arena for a 7 p.m. league tilt. Read More
