HAMILTON - Sophia Diehl earned Patriot League player of the week honors the conference announced on Monday.

Diehl helped the Raiders go 2-0 this past week netting 27 points over the two games. The senior filled the box score as she netted 12 points, grabbed eight boards, added two assists, and two steals in Colgate's 92-51 win over Union on Tuesday. 

The captain scored 15 points on Saturday against Pitt-Johnstown, shooting 66.7 percent (6-for-9) from the floor including 3-for-5 from downtown. Diehl added three rebounds and an assist in route to a 71-46 win.
