Senior guards Lefty Webster and Ciara Gregory both earned recognition this week for their play on the court, as Webster collected a Conference USA Honor Roll spot and Gregory took home the C-USA Player of the Week from College Sports Madness.
The two seniors have led the 49ers to a 5-3 record over the first eight games, with two of their most impressive wins coming this past week against East Carolina at home and (–/RV) Pittsburgh on the road.
Webster, a 5-foot-8 forward from Norfolk, Virginia, averaged 14 points, 7.5 rebounds, 6.5 assists and two blocks this past week, a week after the 49ers suffered two-straight losses in California over Thanksgiving break.
