In addition, Gonzalez was named to the weekly honor roll by the New England Women's Basketball Association (NEWBA) Tuesday morning, Feb. 1.
In three games last week, Gonzalez averaged 22.3 points, 10.3 rebounds, and 3.3 steals per game while shooting 49 percent (25-for-51) from the field, including 55 percent (11-for-20) from behind the three-point line. Last Monday night at GNAC-leading Emmanuel, she played all 40 minutes, notching her seventh double-double of the season with 14 points and 10 rebounds to go along with four steals and two blocks.
In Wednesday's victory at Lasell, Gonzalez hit six three-pointers in the first half on the way to her 15th career double-double with 25 points and 12 rebounds. She wrapped up the week Friday with 28 points on 11-for-20 field goal shooting, nine rebounds, three assists, and four steals in Regis's victory over USJ.
