SPARTANBURG, S.C. - Georgia Southern guard Meredyth Frye has been selected the Southern Conference women's basketball player of the week for all games played February 1-7.

The sophomore from Fredericksburg, Va., averaged 16 points over the week to lead the Eagles to a 2-0 record with wins over UNCG and Elon.  Frye's biggest points of the week came in a 68-67 win over the Spartans, as she went coast-to-coast in under four seconds to hit a game-winning layup as time expired.  Her clutch shooting continued the next game against Elon, as Frye hit four free-throws in the final 20 seconds in overtime to give the Eagles a 71-69 win over the Phoenix. 

Georgia Southern returns to action on Feb. 14 when it travels to Cullowhee, N.C., to take on Western Carolina.

Other top performers in the week of play were Appalachian State's Anna Freeman, Chattanooga's Kayla Christopher, College of Charleston's Tonia Gerty, Davidson's Sophia Aleksandravicius, Elon's Ali Ford, UNCG's Monique Floyd, Samford's Emily London and Wofford's Mahagony Williams.
