NORFOLK, Va. - Old Dominion women's basketball junior Ajah Wayne was named Conference USA Player of the Week as Presented by Surf & Turf Golf.

Wayne earned her first weekly honor of the season after a solid two-game performance against Florida Atlantic on the road, where she compiled back-to-back double-doubles, helping lead ODU to two-straight victories and back into the win column. The Birmingham, Alabama native shot 53 percent (17-of-32) and compiled a season-high three steals on Jan. 9.
