The sophomore guard led the Pios in multiple categories in a 2-0 week for the team
SOMERSET, N.J. – For the third time in her career, Sacred Heart University women's basketball sophomore guard Ny'Ceara Pryor was named the Northeast Conference (NEC) Player of the Week, as announced Tuesday afternoon.
The Pioneers went a perfect 2-0 this past week, picking up noteworthy non-conference wins over Monmouth and Hofstra. SHU first topped the Hawks on Wednesday, earning a 59-50 victory over the defending CAA champs on the road. The Pios then handed Hofstra a 63-60 defeat in their 2023-24 home opener at the Pitt Center on Sunday afternoon.
Pryor led the Pioneers with 17.5 points, 8.5 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 2.5 steals per game. The reigning NEC Player, Defensive Player and Rookie of the Year played 79 out of 80 minutes over the two contests, with her 40-minute performance against Monmouth marking the first time in her career that she did not see the bench.
Pryor first poured in 17 points, nine boards, five assists and two steals in the win over Monmouth. The Baltimore, Md., native backed that up with 18 points, eight rebounds, four assists and three steals in SHU's home-opening victory over Hofstra.
The Pioneers will have off until Thursday, Nov. 23, when they play the University of Puerto Rico-Mayaguez at 9 p.m. to begin the San Juan Shootout in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
