ROSEMONT, Ill. – Fighting Illini rookie Cearah Parchment turned in a career day in Illinois’ near comeback on the road at No. 24 Nebraska on Saturday. For her performance, the Big Ten office announced her as Co-Freshman of the Week on Monday afternoon.
For games from Jan. 19-25, Parchment averaged 25.0 points, 11 rebounds, and 1.0 steals per game, while shooting 58.8 FG%, 50.0 3FG%, and 75 FT%.
On Saturday, Parchment recorded a career-high 25 points along with 11 rebounds (6 offensive) for her sixth double-double of the season, and second-straight game with one. The Canadian scorched the nets, going 10-for-17 from the field, 2-for-4 from 3-point range, and 3-for-4 at the free throw line.
