Cunane posted career-high 28 points in Pack’s win over Elon
GREENSBORO, N.C. – Sophomore center Elissa Cunane of the ninth-ranked NC State women's basketball team (10-0) was named Atlantic Coast Conference Player of the Week Monday afternoon.
The Summerfield, N.C., native dominated in the Wolfpack's 62-49 victory over the visiting Elon Phoenix. Cunane posted her sixth double-double of the season with a career-high 28 points to go with her 16 rebounds. She shot an efficient 9-of-15 from the floor in what was her fourth double-double performance in a row.
Cunane is averaging 16.2 points per game to lead NC State in scoring this season, and she has tallied 20 or more points in three of the last four games. She is also the team leader in field goal percentage (.640) and rebounding (11.0).
After being named ACC Rookie of the Week four times during the 2018-19 season, Cunane becomes the first Wolfpack player to earn ACC Player of the Week honors since Miah Spencer did so on Jan. 3 of the 2016-17 season.
The Pack is back in action at home on Thursday, Dec. 19 when Chattanooga comes to Raleigh. Tip-off from Kay Yow Court inside Valvano Arena at Reynolds Coliseum is set for 6:30 p.m., and the game will be broadcast live on the ACC Network.
