NEWPORT NEWS, Va. – The Atlantic 10 Conference has named Richmond sophomore Jacob Gilyard as its Player of the Week and Fordham freshman Nick Honor as the league’s Rookie of the Week. The awards were announced Monday and are for games played Feb. 4-10.

A guard from Kansas City, Gilyard totaled 45 points, 11 assists, 10 steals, and six rebounds while shooting 64 percent (16-for-25) from the floor and 57.1 percent (8-of-14) from 3-point range in a pair of Spider wins. He played all 40 minutes against George Mason and led Spiders in points (28), assists (six), steals (six), and rebounds (five), making him the first Division I player to post that many points/assists/steals/rebounds in a game since December 2017. Gilyard then led the Spiders with 17 points, five assists, and four steals in a win over George Washington.
