WILLIAMSBURG, Va. – Women's basketball graduate student
Riley Casey was named the William & Mary Student-Athlete of the Week presented by the Virginia Lottery on Tuesday.
Casey became just the second W&M player to score 30 or more points in back-to-back games, tallying a career-high tying 31 at George Mason and again in the victory over Army on Sunday. For her efforts, she was also named the CAA Player of the Week. Casey was 11-of-17 from 3-point range over the two games last week.
One of the most accurate shooters in the nation, Casey's 22.6 points per game and 54.5% 3-point shooting percentage currently rank tenth in the country. She leads the CAA in 3-point shooting percentage, 3-point field goals per game (3.6), is second in scoring, and fifth in field-goal percentage (.482).
Casey is enrolled in the MBA program at the prestigious Raymond A. Mason School of Business. She was both a W&M Provost Award winner and a CAA Commissioner's Academic Honor Roll selection in her first year at W&M.
