NEWPORT NEWS, Va. – Dayton’s Andrea Hoover was honored for the fourth time this year as the Atlantic 10 Conference’s Rookie of the Week for games played during the week of Feb. 13-19.
 
Hoover, a freshman guard, shot an astounding .706 from the field, including a perfect 6-of-6 from three-point range on the week, while averaging 18.0 points and 5.0 rebounds.

She tied her career high with 22 points (which was also a game-high) to lead the Flyers as they overcame an 11-point halftime deficit and went on to win 58-49 at La Salle on Wednesday. Hoover and senior Justine Raterman combined for 18 points in the first eight minutes of the second half and Hoover gave UD its first lead of the second half on a 3-pointer with 11:55 to play. She had 12 points and six rebounds in the second half, including back-to-back defensive rebounds, back-to-back layups, a steal and an assist in a 2:18 span that helped the Flyers take the lead for good from the Explorers.

Hoover, a native of Belbrook, Ohio, also scored a game-high 14 points in UD’s 72-54 triumph over Saint Louis.

She currently leads the Flyers in scoring in A-10 games with 11.8 ppg.

She also earned A-10 Rookie of the Week honors on Jan. 2, Jan. 16 and Jan. 30. Hoover has won the award more than any other freshman this season.
