BRIDGEWATER, Mass. – Bridgewater State University senior guard Elisha Homich has been selected as the New England Women's Basketball Association (NEWBA) PrestoSports Co-Player of the Week. Homich shares the weekly honor along with Babson College senior center Sarah Collins.
Homich averaged 24.7 points, 4.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 2.3 steals in a perfect 3-0 week for the Bears which included a pair of Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletic Conference (MASCAC) wins over Framingham State and Westfield State. She also shot 57.1% (24-42) from the floor, 50.0% (10-20) from behind the arc and 94.1% (16-17) at the free throw.
A native of Ludlow, Massachusetts, Homich notched 26 points, four rebounds, three assists and five steals in BSU's 92-67 win at Framingham, and registered 24 points, three boards, eight assists and two blocked shots in a 72-58 non-conference victory at UMass Boston. She capped off the week with 24 points, five rebounds and two steals in the Bears' 63-47 win over Westfield.
Over the first 14 games of the 2012-2013 season, Homich is averaging 14.0 points to go along with 3.1 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 2.1 steals. She is shooting 35.1% (27-77) from three-point range and 86.4% (57-66) at the free throw line.
