Freshman forward Digna Strautmane, in a week when Syracuse (17-7, 5-6 Atlantic Coast) didn’t win, picked up ACC Rookie of the Week honors for the second-straight week.

It’s the third time this season that Strautmane has received the accolade. It’s also the third-straight week that a Syracuse freshman took home rookie of the week honors since Amaya Finklea-Guity won the award two weeks ago.

The Orange was unable to overcome Virginia Tech or No. 4 Louisville at home, but Strautmane led SU in scoring in both contests. Against the Hokies she put up 20 points and added five rebounds. On Sunday against the Cardinals, Strautmane dropped 22 points to go along with four assists and two blocks.

The 6-foot-2 forward from Riga, Latvia, has now scored in double-figures in five-straight games. Among ACC freshman, Strautmane ranks fourth with her 10.4 points per contest.

Strautmane also places on the national leaderboard in blocks per game. Her 2.08 blocks per game puts her 45th in the country. It also places second in the ACC behind Virginia’s Felicia Aiyeotan, a 6-foot-9 sophomore.
