SPARTANBURG, S.C. – Elon senior point guard Aiesha Harper has been named the Southern Conference’s Women’s Basketball Player of the Week for games played February 14-20, the league office announced today. Harper is the second Elon player to earn player of the week accolades this month, as Ali Ford picked up the honor on Feb. 7.

She also dished out four assists while picking up four steals and finishing 3-of-4 from the charity stripe.
The Pottstown, Pa., native recorded a game-high 16 points Monday night in a 63-50 win over the Cougars. Harper also grabbed six rebounds, went 6-of-7 from the line and went 2-of-2 from long range.
The league’s assist-to-turnover ratio leader, Harper turned the ball over just once in two games against GSU and CofC.
Elon has two regular season games remaining, beginning with a 2 p.m. White Out against Wofford on Saturday. Arrive early to receive a free Elon basketball t-shirt (quantities are limited).
