Kristina Rosario earned MEAC Defensive Player of the Week honors.
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (Feb. 1, 2010)-Senior forward Kristina Rosario was named Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) Defensive Player of the Week, as announced by the league office on Monday.
A native of Atlantic City, N.J., Rosario pulled down 23 rebounds (19 defensive), blocked a shot and tallied two steals to help the Lady bears to a 2-0 week last week and extend their winning streak to a season-long five games.
Rosario tied her career high with 15 rebounds against Maryland Eastern Shore (1/25), with 12 of them coming on the defensive end. She also added five points, a blocked shot and a steal in the win.
It was the first MEAC honor this season for Rosario, who was selected to the MEAC preseason 2nd team.

Adams scored a team-high 19 points, added seven rebounds, three assists and recorded three steals to move into a first-place tie on the school's all-time steals chart with 355 in Sunday's win at Norfolk State.
