Grass is green, water is wet, and Notre Dame’s Sonia Citron is the ACC Freshman of the Week. That’s how routine this honor has become for Citron, who has earned the honor for a program-tying sixth time. Brianna Turner was the last to reach that mark in 2014-15. If you go back to the Irish’s Big East days, it happened to Jacqueline Batteast (2001-02) and Alicia Ratay (1999-2000).
With one more ACC Freshman of the Week honor, Citron would do more than set program history. It would tie the seven times North Carolina’s Janelle Bailey won it during the 2017-18 season.
Citron stood out during the past week as the Irish split games against Miami and third-ranked Louisville. In a win over the Hurricanes, she scored eight of her 15 points in the fourth quarter while also grabbing eight rebounds. As the Irish were losing to the Cardinals, nine of her team-leading 13 points came in the third quarter. She had eight boards in that game, too.
