Women’s Basketball Rookie – Elmira
Lauren Franklin, Freshman, Guard – Binghamton, N/Holy Cross
 
Lauren Franklin was a key factor in Elmira going 2-1 last week against E8 opposition, as the rookie guard averaged a double-double with 11.7 points, 10.3 rebounds, and 2.67 steals per game. She began the week with seven points, nine boards, and three steals in a road win over Houghton. Then, in EC's 12-point victory over Alfred, Franklin produced her first collegiate double-double with 15 points and 13 rebounds, both of which were career highs. She also matched her career high with four steals against the Saxons. Franklin nearly picked up a second straight double-double the next game against Ithaca, as the freshman scored 13 points and pulled down nine boards.
