University of Albany's Ebone Henry Earns First America East Women's Basketball Player of the Week Award - UAlbany Sports 2010

Cambridge, Mass. - University at Albany's Ebone Henry was named the America East Conference Women's Basketball Player of the Week, as announced by the league office on Monday afternoon. It is the first weekly award given for the 2010-11 season.

Henry led the Great Danes to their first season-opening win since 2003-04 with a 64-54 win over Brown on Nov. 12. The sophomore guard recorded a game-high 23 points, on 8-of-16 shooting from the floor, and grabbed a career-best 15 rebounds. She also handed out three assists, made two steals and recorded a block. An America East Conference All-Rookie Team member last season, Henry also hit three of UAlbany's six three-pointers in 28 minutes of action.

UAlbany (1-0) will return to action on Tuesday, visiting St. Francis, N.Y. for a non-conference matchup at 7 p.m.
