IRVING, Texas – No freshman has been more dominate in Conference USA action since the start of league play than Charlotte’s Grace Hunter and she continued to be rewarded for her hard work, garnering her fourth Conference USA Freshman of the Week accolade Feb. 29. Her four weekly honors are the most by any rookie in the league since conference games began in January and tie her for the most by any 49ers freshman in program history as she worked to solidify her case for C-USA’s Freshman of the Year in the postseason.
Hunter saved her best scoring effort of the season for the conference champion, UTEP, on her way to averaging a near double-double of 21.
