LORMAN, Miss. - Alcorn State University women's basketball guard LaRae Rascoe earned her first career conference player of the week award as announced by the league office Thursday morning.
The junior transfer from Ancilla College became the first Lady Brave to receive the accolade Alexus Freeman took home the honor on January 23, 2018.
The Indianapolis native has been a revelation for the purple and gold this season, averaging 11.7 points, 2.6 steals, 2.4 rebounds and 1.8 assists per contest while leading the Lady Braves with 12 three-pointers.
The general studies major has posted double-digit scoring performances in eight of her ten games this season while ranking top-25 in the NCAA for total steals with 26.
Rascoe had a monster game versus Florida A&M on Sunday, coming off the bench to score a season-high 19 points in only 22 minutes of action while draining 7-of-12 (.583) from the floor. She also made a season-best five free throws to go along with a rebound, steal and an assist in the victory.
Rascoe and the Lady Braves will return to the hardwood on Sunday afternoon as they face the Blazers of UAB with tipoff scheduled for 2 p.m. inside the Davey L. Whitney Complex.
