JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The Jacksonville Dolphins earned their second ASUN Freshman of the Week honors Monday, with freshman Aniah Smith<\/a> winning the first conference honor of her college career.<\/p>\n

Smith had a dynamic week for the Dolphins, leading Jacksonville to wins over Lipscomb and Austin Peay. She led the team in scoring, tied with fellow freshman Tatum Brown<\/a>, rebounding, assists and steals.<\/p>\n

Smith scored 15 points, grabbed a career-high eight rebounds, stole the ball a career-high six times and dished out four assists in the Dolphins to a 72-54 win over Lipscomb. Against Austin Peay, she scored a new career high with 16 points, adding five assists and three more steals.<\/p>\n
