NORTH DARTMOUTH, Mass. - Plymouth State University sophomore forward Amanda Kania (Manchester, N.H.) was named to the D3Hoops.com Team and the Week and the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Division III Co-Player of the week after leading the Panthers to a 1-1 week. Twenty-four hours earlier, Kania was honored as the Little East Conference Player of the Week for her performance on the women's basketball court for the week ending Feb. 15.

Kania averaged 27 points and 8.5 rebounds in a pair of Little East Conference games for the Panthers. She set a career-high 34 points in a conference victory at UMass-Boston on Feb. 14, connecting on 12-of-19 from the floor, including 3-for-4 from the three-point line. Earlier in the week, Kania posted her fourth double-double of the season with 20 points and 10 rebounds in a loss at Keene State. She shot 55.6 percent from the field, 57.1 percent from beyond the arc, and 90.9 percent from the charity stripe in 50 combined minutes of action.

Kania ranks among the Little East leaders in scoring (6th, 12.8 ppg) and rebounding (10th, 6.1 rpg). A starter in 17 of her 23 games, she has reached double figures in scoring 16 times. Kania scored at least 20 points five times, including becoming just the second student-athlete in the conference circuit to net 30-plus points.

Plymouth State University (15-8, 5-7 LEC) returns to action tonight at 5:30 p.m., when the Panthers host Little East Conference foe University of Southern Maine (18-5, 8-4) at Foley Gymnasium.
