West Georgia Tech's Kadriana Howard has been named the Georgia Collegiate Athletic Association/Region 17 Division III Women's Basketball Player of the Week.

This is the second time that the Sycamore, GA. native has earned the award this season.

Howard, a 5’7 sophomore guard who prepped at Turner High School, averaged 25 points, five rebounds, four assists and five steals per game in a pair of contests last week against Gadsden State (AL.) and Reinhardt University.

Howard is the conference-leader in points per game this season, averaging 15.8 points per game. She is shooting 51 percent from the field.

“Kadriana has played consistent and has been a key factor and contributor for our team,” said West Georgia Tech head coach Kenny Edwards. “She scores in variety of ways. She is a versatile player. She defends our opposition’s best player and she rebounds at a high level for a guard.”

West Georgia Tech (10-7) is off to its best start in school history having won seven games against NJCAA Division 1 competition.
