Rooney stepping up in USA

Erin Rooney, Monmouth
So., G, 5-8, Christchurch, New Zealand/Marian College

Erin Rooney was recently named player of the week for the North eastern Conference. Rooney ran the show for the Hawks as they topped the NEC's Keystone State contingent of Robert Morris and Saint Francis (PA). The sophomore point guard averaged 18.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, 4.5 assists, and 3.0 steals over a pair of victories that pulled Monmouth within 1.0 game of first place with two to play. All of those numbers exceeded Rooney's season averages in the respective statistical categories.

The New Zealander accounted for a career high in each of Monmouth's wins last week at the Jersey Shore's Multi-Purpose Activity Center. Rooney poured in a career-high 22 points, on 7-for-11 shooting, and grabbed five boards during a 64-55 triumph over Robert Morris, one of the four teams with whom Monmouth was in a second-place tie with heading into the weekend. Then, in a victory over Saint Francis (PA), which was Monmouth's second of the season against the defending NEC champion Flash, Rooney scored 14 points and dished out a career-best seven assists. She was just stellar on defense as well, locking up NEC leading scorer Samantha Leach and limiting her to her lowest output (6 pts.) of the season. Rooney shot an even 60 percent (12-of-20) from the field for the week.
