HARRIS NAMED ATLANTIC 10 ROOKIE OF THE WEEK

• Rhode Island freshman Vanessa Harris was named the Atlantic 10 Rookie of the Week, the league announced Monday. 
• Harris powered the Rams to a 2-0 week, averaging 17.0 points per game while delivering in two high-stakes matchups.

• She was efficient in both games, shooting 52 percent from the field and 62.5 percent from beyond the arc.
• At NC State, Harris delivered several momentum-shifting plays. She drilled back-to-back 3-pointers to ignite a crucial Rhode Island run, then knocked down two late free throws to help secure the program's first win over a ranked opponent since 2022-23.
• The honor marks the first weekly award of Harris' career.
