Freshman Sensation Galloway Earns Second Straight HL Honor

INDIANAPOLIS (2/24/2014) -- For the second-straight week and the third time this season, a Titan freshman was honored by the Horizon League as rookie Megan Galloway (Greenville, Ohio / Greenville) once again was tabbed the HL Freshman Of The Week on Monday.

The award also marks the third-straight week Detroit has received a weekly accolade as Galloway's back-to-back award followed freshman Minisha Frederick-Childress winning it back on Feb. 10.

Galloway continues to impress out on the court as she tallied her second double-double in the last three games and the third of her rookie campaign with 16 points and a season and game-high 17 rebounds against Wright State. She was 7-of-17 from the field and even handed out a season-best five assists.

The 17 boards was the most by a Titan since Yar Shayok - the second leading rebounder in Titan history - had 17 against the College of Charleston in the second round of the WBI last season.

Galloway has now scored in double digits in three-straight games and four total during Horizon League play. Galloway has also pulled down at least five rebounds in nine of UDM's 12 conference games, including double digits on four occasions.

In her last three games, she is averaging a team-high 16.7 points and 11.3 rebounds per game and shooting 50% from the field (23-of-46). In HL action, she is tallying 8.7 ppg., and 7.3 rpg., and nearly hitting 50% from the field connecting on 47-of-96 (49.0%).

Galloway and the Titans close out the regular season home slate with two games this week, starting on Wednesday as Valparaiso comes to town. Game time is set for 7:00 p.m., on Dick Vitale Court in historic Calihan Hall.
