SPARTANBURG, S.C. – The Southern Conference announced today its selection for women's basketball player of the week, with Wofford's Rachael Rose earning the honor. The selection is made by the league office.
 
This is Rose's third weekly honor of the season, matching the single-season program record set prior by Jenny Nett (2001-02) and Chloe Wanink (2018-19), who each won three in their respective campaigns. It is Rose's fourth career player of the week recognition, matching the Wofford record for a career, also previously set by Nett and Wanink.
 
"I'm really excited for Rachael to receive this recognition," said head coach Jimmy Garrity. "Her stat line versus Virginia was just incredible, missing a triple-double by one assist. She's been fantastic all season long, and this recognition is well deserved."
 
Rose and the Terriers played only one game during the selection period, but it was a massive result against Virginia. On the road in Charlottesville, the junior recorded a double-double and near triple-double with 21 points, 10 rebounds and a career-high nine assists, topping the team in all three categories. She added in three steals while playing all 40 minutes. The native of Scranton, Pennsylvania, was 7-of-15 from the floor with a three-pointer and 6-of-7 at the charity stripe. But no shot was bigger than her last, as with time winding down Rose netted the game-winning bucket with a mid-range floater over two defenders with 0.4 remaining on the clock to seal the historic 71-70 victory for the Terriers.
 
The win was Wofford's first ever over an ACC team and only its second over a Power Five foe (Alabama in 2012). The Terriers will be back in action tonight against Tennessee with eyes on another upset win. Wofford battles the Lady Volunteers at 6:30 p.m.
