After helping lead the women’s basketball team to a pair of road victories with her first career double-double, freshman Nia Irving has been named the GoTerriers.com Student-Athlete of the Week.

Irving ended the year with eight points, five rebounds and a steal in Friday’s 66-49 win at Holy Cross and then opened 2017 with a season-high 26 points and 10 rebounds in a come-from-behind 69-64 victory at Lehigh. She scored 16 points alone in the fourth quarter with the help of a perfect 10-of-10 performance at the line, as BU finished the contest on a 23-3 run in the final five minutes.
