Sixth OVC Newcomer of the Week Award Announced for SIUE's Nikitinaite

36

After finishing the regular season strong with a pair of home court victories, the Ohio Valley Conference added to the good news Monday as Gabby Nikitinaite was selected as the Newcomer of the Week for the sixth time this season.

Nikitinaite, of Orpington, Kent, UK, averaged 16.5 points and 2.5 rebounds per game in wins over Austin Peay and Morehead State. The Cougar guard shot 12 of 22 from the field and 5 of 10 from three-point range. She added four assists.

Her six Newcomer of the Week awards is the most by a Cougar since SIUE joined the OVC.

The Cougars are headed to the postseason and begin play in the OVC Tournament Presented by Ticketsmarter Wednesday in a 3:30 p.m. game. SIUE is the No. 7 seed and will take on sixth-seeded UT Martin in the opening round.
