Athletic Conference (GLIAC) Women’s Basketball Player of the Week.
Freeman led Gannon to a perfect 2-0 record last week with home victories

Freeman helped the cause with 13 points and four assists in the second half.
Freeman then tied a career-high with 24 points in another come-from-behind
victory against Ashland. She helped Gannon rally from a 12-point second-half
deficit with 10 points in the final 20 minutes. Her three-pointer capped
the rally and tied the game at 68 with 3:42 to play.
Gannon (11-4, 5-1) returns to action Thursday, January 17 at Ferris State.
