BROOKLYN, NY - Freshman guard
Katie Januszewska of the St. Francis Brooklyn women's basketball program has been named Great Britain's U18 Women's Player of the Year. Awarded to three groups on both the men's and women's side (seniors, U18 and U16), six athletes received the honor Friday afternoon. The panel considered domestic, European and international resume's when making their decision.
For Loughborough in WNBL D1, she averaged 13.5PPG and 6.9RPG as the Riders finished as regular season runners up, whilst earning valuable minutes in the WBBL for Leicester (19 appearances across all competitions).
The Derby native was also part of Kenrick Liburd's GB U18s side that went 4-3 for an 11th place finish in Division B, where she averaged 9.6 points per game and 6.0 rebounds per game across all seven games.
Januszewska joins Temi Fagbenle (senior) and Leia Edwards (U16) as female players honored. She has played in 21 games for the Terriers and is shooting a team-best 86.7% from the free throw line. She had a season-high 15 points against Old Westbury.
