Simonsen Honored With Third Consecutive Big South Freshman of the Week Award

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Georgia Simonsen was named the Big South Freshman of the Week for her performances against two of the top teams in the conference, as announced by the conference office on Monday.

The Fairfax, Va. native had a dynamite first half on February 4 at Longwood, scoring 14 points before finishing with 17 on 7-of-10 shooting. Simonsen had an even more spectacular game against High Point, totaling a career-high of 19 points while making multiple three-pointers for the first time. Her seven rebounds on Saturday led the Highlanders and were instrumental in helping Radford pull off the upset on Senior Day.

This is Simonsen's sixth freshman of the week award this season and third in as many weeks. The six is also the most by a Radford freshman since Ashlyn Traylor-Walker received seven on her way to Big South Freshman of the Year during the 2022-23 campaign.

The Highlanders hit the road for a game at UNC Asheville on Wednesday, February 11. Tipoff is set for 6:30 p.m. at Kimmel Arena and will be streamed live on ESPN+.
