University of South Carolina Aiken Athletics

AIKEN, S.C. – University of South Carolina Aiken women’s basketball standout Rachelle Aupont has been named the Willie Jewell's USC Aiken Athletic Department Student-Athlete of the Week for the week ending Jan. 1, 2017.

Aupont, a native of Orlando, Fla., registered season highs in virtually every statistical category in the team’s lone game of the week.

In a non-conference battle at Wingate on New Year’s Eve, the senior poured in a team-high 17 points on seven-of-14 shooting in just 22 minutes of work.

Aupont narrowly missed a double-double by snagging a team-high nine rebounds. She dished out three assists and added a steal.

The Willie Jewell’s USC Aiken Athletic Department Student-Athlete of the Week honors one student-athlete each week from an in-season sport for their hard work and effort.
