Queens, NY - St. John's University women's basketball freshman Andrea Peterson (Norwood, PA) was named BIG EAST Conference Freshman of the Week, it was announced this afternoon by the league office.
Peterson helped lead the Red Storm to their second consecutive tournament championship this weekend, as St. John's defeated Norfolk State (94-70) and host UNC Wilmington (71-62) to take home the Wilmington Hilton Riverside Classic. She averaged 14.5 points per game over the two-day tournament, shooting 8-for-12 from the field, 6-for-8 from behind the arc and 7-for-8 from the free-throw line. The freshman started both games at the point, playing a team-high 35.0 minutes per game.
Peterson and the Red Storm return to the court on Wednesday for their 2004-05 home opener, as they take on Hofstra at 7 pm in newly renamed Carnesecca Arena.
