WASHINGTON - Georgetown University women's basketball freshman guard Dionna White (Baltimore, Md./Milford Mill) was named the BIG EAST Freshman of the Week on Monday after the Hoyas (8-5, 1-2 BIG EAST) opened conference play with three BIG EAST games last week.

In her first three BIG EAST contests, White was consistently productive by averaging a Georgetown-best 16.7 points per game to go along with 6.0 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 2.0 steals. In the Hoyas' league opener at Xavier on Tuesday, the rookie totaled 11 points and five assists in GU's narrow setback. Two nights later at Butler, White totaled 17 points, nine rebounds, four steals and two dimes. She capped off the week on Sunday by leading Georgetown to its first BIG EAST win of the year over Creighton, going for game highs of 22 points, matching her career high, and six assists, along with a pair of steals and six rebounds. White currently leads the BIG EAST in steals per game (2.8) while ranking in the top 10 in both scoring and assists.

This is White's third-career freshman of the week honor, and the third weekly award of the season for the Hoyas.

The Hoyas will remain at home, hosting Providence College on Tuesday at McDonough Arena. Tipoff is slated for 7 p.m. on the BIG EAST Digital Network.
