Jan. 18, 2011

Emmanuel's Meghan Kirwan was recently named to the Great Northeast Athletic Conference's Weekly Honor Roll, a nod she is receiving for the second time this season. The junior guard recently led the Emmanuel Women's Basketball Team to 2-0 week, as the Saints posted conference wins over Lasell College and Suffolk University.

During the two-game stint, the Melrose, Massachusetts native averaged 15 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 3.5 assists, while shooting 13 of 25 from the field for the week. Kirwan notched 15 points and dished out 5 assists in the Saints' 85-55 win over the Lasers. She also poured in a game-high 16 points, while hauling in 7 boards in Emmanuel's 61-58 edging of Suffolk.

Kirwan has started in all 12 of her games played and is currently leading the Saints in scoring with 14.9 points per game. She is also tops on the squad in steals with 29 on the year. Kirwan is Emmanuel's second leading rebounder with 5.4 boards per night and second leading playmaker with 3.5 assists per game.

Kirwan and the Saints, who remain unbeaten in conference play, will travel to Northfield, Vermont on Saturday to take on the Cadets of Norwich University in a 1pm start.
