Amaya Finklea-Guity earned Atlantic Coast Conference Rookie of the Week honors for her performance during Syracuse’s (15-5, 3-4 ACC) two games last week.

The 6-foot-4 freshman center averaged 12.5 points and 5.5 rebounds per game as SU split its two games.

In a road loss at Miami, Finklea-Guity scored 11 points on 5-of-6 shooting to go along with a career-high three blocks.

Sunday, Finklea-Guity tied for the team-high with 14 points on 6-for-10 shooting in a win over Pittsburgh in the Carrier Dome. She finished second on the team with eight rebounds, as well.

Between the two games, Finklea-Guity averaged 30 minutes a game, well above her season average of 23.7 minutes per game. It was the second-highest minute total she’s played in consecutive games this season.

It was the first weekly honor of the season for Finklea-Guity. She becomes the second Syracuse starter to be named Rookie of the Week this season after Digna Strautmane earned the honor on Dec. 11.
