Goodwin-Coleman and Kody Burke make NC State the only team in the league to have two different players named rookie of the week so far in 2010-11. The last time NC State had multiple winners was in 1999-00 when Kaayla Chones, Terah James and Amy Simpson all earned it in the same season.
Bonae Holston is seven points shy of moving past Ashley Key (2004-07) and into 24th place on the school's all-time scoring chart. The junior ranks sixth in the league with 15.9 points per game, while her 8.1 rebounds is good for third overall and her 3.5 offensive rebounds a game is tied for the lead.
Freshmen are making waves among the ACC leaders. Kody Burke's 39 blocks and 1.8 per game average is second in the conference, while Goodwin-Coleman leads all first-year players in assists (3.4) and assist/turnover ratio (1.4).
NC State travels to Georgia Tech on Sunday for a 5 p.m., contest that will be televised on ESPN2.
