XULA's Trench shares Louisiana Player of the Week award

NEW ORLEANS — Xavier University of Louisiana's Maya Trench has been named Louisiana Women's Basketball Co-Player of the Week for Jan. 29-Feb. 4 by a panel of the state's media.

Trench, a 5-foot-2 point guard from Edgard, La., and a graduate of West St. John High School, shared the award with another sophomore, LSU forward Ayana Mitchell. Trench averaged eight points, 8.5 rebounds and seven assists in two games, and her triple-double against SUNO — 11 points and career bests of 13 rebounds and 12 assists — was the Gold Nuggets' first in 30 years.

The Louisiana Sports Writers Association sponsors the award. Trench is the Gold Nuggets' fourth LSWA honoree on the weekly or monthly level and the first since Trana Hopkins won for Feb. 22-28, 2015.

The Gold Nuggets will travel to SUNO for a 5:30 p.m. game Monday (Lundi Gras), then play host to NAIA No. 21 Dillard at 3 p.m. Feb. 17 in the opening game of the Crosstown Classic presented by Raising Cane's at XULA's Convocation Center.
