NORFOLK, Va. -- Old Dominion freshman forward Tiffany Green (Chesapeake, Va.) was named the Colonial Athletic Association Rookie of the week it was announced Monday afternoon by the conference office. It marks the second CAA Rookie of the Week honor for Green.
The CAA Rookie of the Year nominee helped Old Dominion to victories over UNC-Wilmington and James Madison last week averaging 11.5 points and 8.0 rebounds. She narrowly missed her eighth double-double of the year with 12 points and nine rebounds in Thursday night's victory over the Seahawks. Additionally, she swatted away three UNC-W shots on net helping Old Dominion to a season-high 11 rejections.
