NEW YORK - Freshman Morgan Sharps was named to the BIG EAST Weekly Honor Roll on Monday morning. The guard scored a career-high 24 points on Saturday in the Skyline Chili Crosstown Shootout vs Cincinnati.

The Granville, Ohio, native was 9-for-15 from the floor and 6-for-12 from behind the arc vs the Bearcats. Her six 3-pointers were the most in a game by a Xavier player since Jan. 29, 2016 (Aliyah Zantt - six 3-pointers vs Butler). She also had five rebounds and two assists.

Sharps now has 16 three pointers this year to rank tied for second among BIG EAST freshmen this season. The six 3-pointers vs Cincinnati also rank tied for first in the BIG EAST for single-game three pointers this season.

Sharps is the second Xavier player to earn the recognition this season as A'riana Gray picked up the honors on Nov. 11.
