JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Queens University of Charlotte sophomore forward Brenae Jones-Grant has been named the ASUN Newcomer of the Week after a dominant road performance at Western Carolina. Jones-Grant becomes the second Royal to earn a weekly ASUN award and the first in program history to claim Newcomer of the Week honors.

A transfer from Cleveland State and a native of Plainfield, New Jersey, Jones-Grant continued her early season surge by recording her third double-double of the year with 27 points and 11 rebounds in Queens win in Cullowhee. Jones-Grant contributed 39 minutes, shot 10-18 from the field, and came within one point of matching her career high of 28 set earlier this season at South Carolina State.

"Brenae is making the most out of her new opportunity here at Queens. Her numbers speak for themselves," said head Coach Jen Brown. "She shows up ready every day, puts in the work, and it's great to see the ASUN take notice. We're proud of the way she's stepped in and delivered."

Jones-Grant also added a major milestone to her performance against the Catamounts by knocking down five three pointers, the most in her career. With her efficient outing, Jones-Grant now leads the ASUN in field goal percentage at .582.

Queens returns home for the first time in nearly a month and hosts Carolina University on Sunday, December 14 at Curry Arena. The matchup will also serve as Youth Day, and all kids under twelve will receive free admission.
