Monday, January 31, 2011 | Women's Basketball
After helping Florida capture a pair of Southeastern Conference victories, Jaterra Bonds (Gainesville, Fla.) was named the SEC Women's Basketball Freshman of the Week, the league office announced Monday.
The rookie point guard actually was Florida's leading rebounder last week, pulling down 14 during the two games when the Gators won consecutive league contests for the first time this year.
Bonds also scored a team-high 12 points in the six-point victory against Alabama that helped Florida halt its four-game losing streak.
The 5-foot-7 Bonds collected her first collegiate blocked shot during the win against the Crimson Tide.
Her eight rebounds against Alabama was a career-high and led Florida on the boards that game and helped the Gators win the battle in the paint, 51-41.
The Gators next play host to Ole Miss on Thursday, Feb. 3 in the O'Connell Center with tip-off scheduled for 7 p.m.
