Rheinheimer, a junior from Manheim, Pa., picks up her
second weekly award of the season after exploding in two wins for
the Royals. Rheinheimer notched a pair of double-doubles and twice
set personal career-highs for single-game scoring. In a 74-54 road
win at Christopher Newport, she was 10-of-16 from the field on the
way to a then career-best 29 points with 12 rebounds, two assists
and two steals. She was 3-of-5 from downtown. Rheinheimer then
became the first ODAC player to score 40 or more points since 2005
(44 - Kristine Ellis, Guilford) with 41 points and 10 rebounds in a
72-47 win over Washington College. She was 17-of-24 from the field,
hitting 4-of-7 from deep. She added three steals and two blocked
shots. For the week, Rheinheimer averaged 35 points and 11 rebounds
while shooting 67.5-percent (27-of-40) from the field. She has
scored 23 or more points in four of the past five games. She leads
the ODAC in scoring (20.4 ppg) and field goals made (80). She's
third in blocked shots (11) and fifth in rebounding (8.1 ppg) and
field goal shooting (.533).
