Andersen Named All-Met Co-Player of the Week

NEW YORK, N.Y. – Fairfield University Women's Basketball junior Road Runner Meghan Andersen added another weekly award to her resume as she was named the All-Met Division I Co-Player of the Week following her historic performance. This is the fifth overall weekly honor for Andersen who has been named the MAAC Player of the Week three times and earned a National Player of the Week earlier this year.
 
Andersen highlighted her week by breaking the program's single-game scoring record by dropping 40 points in the win over marist. She connected on a career-high eight 3-pointers in that historic game, going 8-for-10 from behind the 3-point arc. The eight triples were the second-most in a game in school history, behind Sam Lewis' 11 against Siena set during the previous school record of 39 points.
 
In total, Andersen shot 70 percent from the floor and 67 percent from deep. She also netted her 200th career 3-pointer, becoming one of just five Stags to reach that mark. She also jumped into the top-15 in program history in career points and has now tallied over 1,370 in her career.
 
Andersen's 40-point performance also helped the Stags break the team's single-game scoring record as the Stags tallied 109 in the win over the Red Foxes. The two victories improved Fairfield's conference mark to 14-1, sitting second in the league.
 
Fairfield will have back-to-back road games, starting with a visit to Mount St. Mary's on Thursday at 7pm.
