Harvey Named AAC Freshman of the Week
PROVIDENCE, R.I., Nov. 26, 2018–USF women's basketball player
Sydni Harvey, a freshman from Nashville, Tenn., has been named the American Athletic Conference Freshman of the Week after leading USF in three games at the Paradise Jam last week.
Harvey racked up 52 points in three games last week, and set or tied her career high in scoring in each of No. 17 USF's power five matchups. She scored 16 points against Kentucky to tie her career high, before scoring a career-high 17 points in the 71-69 loss against North Carolina. She was critical in USF's bounce-back 60-56 win over UCLA (receiving votes) on Saturday, where she scored a career-high 19 points in the victory. This season, Harvey has scored 16 points or more against Power Five opponents.
For her standout performance, she was named to the Paradise Jam Island Division Tournament All-Star Team, a team of five players from the loaded field in the U.S. Virgin Island of St. Thomas. Napheesia Collier of UConn was named the AAC Player of the Week.
Harvey and the Bulls return to action on Friday night at 6 p.m. at the Yuengling Center against New Hampshire, which kicks off a four-game home stretch for USF.
